How to enroll to a residency program:
History and background
- New York City Ballet was the idea of Lincoln Kirstein.
- He envisioned an American ballet where young native dancers could be trained and schooled under the guidance of the world's greatest ballet masters to perform a new, modern repertory.
- New York City Ballet opened the theater on April 24, 1964.
- Lincoln Kirstein met George Balanchine in London in 1933 and they started the American Ballet School together, which did not go so well in the beginning and it led to a collapse.
- Several ballet companies were created and dissolved before Kirstein and Balanchine formed Ballet Society and presented their new company at New York's City Center for Music and Drama.
- The chairman was impressed by the quality of the performances and suggested they would turn the ensemble into a New York City Ballet.
Today
- The New York City Ballet has many international agreements.
- The company has made appearances in many capitals of Europe, but also in Australia, China, Brazil, Japan, Italy, South Korea, and Taiwan.
- The Company has approximately 90 dancers, making it the largest dance organization in America.
- Over 150 works, choreographed by Balanchine and Robbins.
- The official school of New York City Ballet, at Lincoln Center, has an enrollment of over 350 dancers.
