In the Gilded Age, Genevieve Lee Stebbins (1857–1934) became a dance soloist admired in New York City's theater world. Stebbins created a foundation from which a new “serious” dance aesthetic emerged and notably inspired the early dance work of Ruth St. Denis and Isadora Duncan; however, she remains an overlooked figure within American dance history. This article chronicles Stebbins's innovations and clarifies misrepresentations of her work in recent scholarship. Unlike other American dance pioneers, there is no public archive dedicated to Stebbins, therefore this article draws upon newly available primary sources to explore Stebbins's foundational work.

纽约市镀金时代被遗忘的“新”舞者：Genevieve Lee Stebbins 和尚未梦想的舞蹈

在镀金时代，吉纳维芙·李·斯特宾斯 (Genevieve Lee Stebbins) (1857–1934) 成为纽约市戏剧界备受推崇的舞蹈独奏家。Stebbins 奠定了基础，由此产生了一种新的“严肃”舞蹈美学，并显着启发了 Ruth St. Denis 和 Isadora Duncan 的早期舞蹈作品；然而，她仍然是美国舞蹈史上一个被忽视的人物。这篇文章记录了 Stebbins 的创新，并澄清了她在最近的学术研究中的误传。与其他美国舞蹈先驱不同，没有专门针对 Stebbins 的公共档案，因此本文利用新的主要资源来探索 Stebbins 的基础工作。
