The family no longer controls the domain, so it is no longer linked; a full copy is held in the family archive and the writing is reproduced at /pointe-shoes/. |
| [WEB-TEXAS-HISTORY] | The Portal to Texas History | University of North Texas newspaper archive, free and full-text searchable. Forty-one items name the Polajenkos, and forty more name the Houston Dance Center — the Houston-area weeklies that covered the school from its opening advertisement in August 1976 through the mid-1980s.
