About This Event

About New York City Ballet: All Balanchine I
At New York City Ballet, **All Balanchine I** gathers works by George Balanchine, the company’s co-founder and a defining architect of American ballet in New York. The program centers on his stripped-down approach: choreography built from musical structure rather than story, performed by New York City Ballet. Many of these ballets were first made for NYCB in the mid-20th century, helping set a local standard for neoclassical dance. The through line is clarity, where technique becomes a form of musical analysis.
