New York City Ballet: All Balanchine V

About All Balanchine V
At New York City Ballet, *All Balanchine V* gathers works drawn entirely from George Balanchine’s repertory, returning to the choreographer who helped define the company’s identity. Balanchine first made New York his base in the 1930s and, through NYCB’s founding in 1948, helped establish a distinctly American, music-driven style of ballet. The program emphasizes his neoclassical approach: stripped of narrative, built on structure, rhythm, and line. Seen together, the dances read less like stories than like arguments for musicality as the main subject.
