The School of American Ballet 2014 Workshop Performances

Students will perform ballets specially chosen to recognize the School’s co-founder George Balanchine and former faculty member Alexandra Danilova, who together launched SAB’s first year-end student Workshop in 1965. Excerpts from ballets featured in Workshop’s first years—Coppélia (1965) and Swan Lake (1966) —along with Balanchine’s Serenade and the fourth movement of his Western Symphony will be performed. As in years past, the performances will once again provide audiences with a unique opportunity to witness the pre-professional debuts of the nation’s most talented ballet students as they prepare to embark on professional ballet careers with notable companies around the U.S. and abroad.
