The performances are offered in a venue where the community groups can come to see high quality ballet offered by “their” neighborhood company at affordable prices.
The program includes:
An excerpt from The Alice-In-Wonderland Follies
Choreography by Keith Michael
Libera!
Choreography by Marco Pelle
Run Loose

This popular and affordable series has guests David Parker and The Bang Group, Pam Tanowitz, Marco Pelle, Antonia Franceshi, Gemma Bond, Amber Sloan, and Yukiko Kashiki. We also had the chance to show works by Keith Michael, Merce Cunningham, Antony Tudor, Jose Limon, Philip King, James Waring, and James Sutton. The work presented this season will be a combination of classic ballets, new works, and popular NYTB productions. Four different programs will be presented each for two consecutive Friday and Saturday evenings from 7-8 pm. Special choreography for children from the NYTB training school is often included in the program.
