About New York City Ballet
Founded in 1948, the legacy of founding choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins blends European and American culture, Hollywood and Broadway into something unique in the ballet world.
Balanchine brought his Imperial Ballet training, Ballets Russes background, and relationships with legendary ballet composers. “Mr. B” was a key catalyst in the development of ballet from its classical traditions into neoclassical and contemporary forms. His black and white, leotard ballets ultimately stripped away scenery, costume, and story; leaving ballets of pure movement.
Balanchine and America’s first prima ballerina, Maria Tallchief (Native American Osage Nation), turned an obscure work called “The Nutcracker” into the world’s most popular ballet.
Jerome Robbins brought his Broadway background and a profound grasp of American culture. He loved African Diaspora dance traditions.
City Ballet carries on the Ballets Russes tradition of collaborating with the best artists of the day. The company’s School of American Ballet has a legacy of developing great dancers.
In the end, it all comes down to music, choreography, and movement. That is probably exactly what Mr. B had in mind.
