You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gemze de Lappe''' (February 28, 1922, [[Portsmouth, Virginia]] – November 11, 2017 [[Manhattan]]) was an American [[dancer]] who worked very closely with [[Agnes de Mille]] and was frequently partnered by de Mille's favorite male dancer, [[James Mitchell (actor)|James Mitchell]].<ref>((cite web|title=Gemze de Lappe biography|url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/38/Gemze-de-Lappe.html|work=filmreference.com|accessdate=September 2, 2011))</ref><ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/17/obituaries/gemze-de-lappe-95-dies-keeper-of-the-agnes-de-mille-flame.html Gemze de Lappe, 95, Dies; Keeper of the Agnes de Mille Flame]</ref>

Born to  daughter of Birch Wood de Lappe (an actor and teacher) and his wife, Maureen (an actress and drummer; maiden name, McDonough), Gemze attended [[Hunter College]] and  the Ballet Arts School at [[Carnegie Hall]].<ref>Willis, John (1977). ''[https://archive.org/details/danceworld76newy/page/176/mode/2up?q=%22de+lappe+gemze%22 Dance World 1976]''. New York: Crown Publishers. p.&nbsp;176. ((ISBN|9780517526590)).</ref> Originally trained by Irma Duncan and [[Michel Fokine]], de Lappe began her career in Fokine's company. Her [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] musical theatre performance credits include Simon of Legree in the original production of ''[[The King and I]]'' (also in the film version), ''[[Paint Your Wagon (musical)|Paint Your Wagon]]'' (Donaldson Award winner), [[Juno (musical)|Juno]], and [[American Dance Machine|''The American Dance Machine'']]. She appeared in the original [[West End theatre|West End]] and first national companies of ''[[Oklahoma!]]'', dancing the iconic role of Laurey in the "Dream Ballet". In the early 1950s, she briefly formed part of a dance team with [[Dean Crane]].<ref>"Via the Grapevine", ''Dance Magazine'' 24.9 (September 1950): 8.</ref>  De Lappe's long concert dance career included engagements with [[American Ballet Theatre]] and the [[Agnes de Mille Dance Theatre]]. For several years, she was a professor of dance at [[Smith College]], and has held a number of visiting appointments since her nominal retirement.  In 1989, [[Niagara University]] awarded her an honorary doctorate.<ref>((cite news |title=3 TO GET HONORARY DEGREES AT NIAGARA CONVOCATION |url=https://buffalonews.com/news/3-to-get-honorary-degrees-at-niagara-convocation/article_b1f87ca0-1f4b-5afb-96a0-3426a2c268df.html |access-date=30 April 2021 |work=Buffalo News |date=1989-05-26))</ref>

De Lappe died on 11 November 2017, up to which time she remained active as a choreographer and teacher; now, she remains  especially well known for reconstructing the work of de Mille, [[Isadora Duncan]], and [[Jerome Robbins]]. She recreated de Mille's choreography for the 1979 Broadway revival of ''Oklahoma!'' and choreographed ''[[Abe Lincoln in Illinois (play)|Abe Lincoln in Illinois]]'' on Broadway. She regularly traveled the country, recreating the original choreography for such shows as ''The King and I, Oklahoma!, [[Brigadoon]],'' and ''[[Carousel (musical)|Carousel]]'' for various professional, regional, and educational theatre companies. In Spring 2011, the [[University of North Carolina School of the Arts]] presented an accurate recreation of the original Broadway production of ''Oklahoma!'' with the original choreography recreated by De Lappe.<ref>((cite web|last=UNCSA|title=UNCSA Oklahoma!|url=http://www.uncsa.edu/performances/featured2.htm|accessdate=September 4, 2011))</ref>

In 2007, she was awarded [[Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre]].<ref>((cite web|last=Broadway.com|title=2007 Tony Honors|url=http://www.broadway.com/buzz/96828/2007-tony-honors-winners-announced/|accessdate=September 4, 2011))</ref> In 2012, she received the Martha Hill Dance Fund Lifetime Achievement Award.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.marthahilldance.org/index.php/about_foundation/awards|title=Martha Hill Dance Fund, Ltd. • Martha Hill Awards|website=www.marthahilldance.org|access-date=2018-09-04|archive-date=2012-10-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025031054/http://www.marthahilldance.org/index.php/about_foundation/awards|url-status=dead))</ref>
