We seek to increase the number of companies performing George Balanchine’s ballets and the diversity of Balanchine ballets performed. We are concerned that Balanchine’s seldom-performed ballets will be lost unless they are taught to dancers and staged. We target our contributions to encourage ballet companies to perform George Balanchine’s ballets. Join us.
How often George Balanchine’s ballets are performed, how many companies perform his ballets, and how often specific ballets are performed. What can be done to preserve his legacy.
Twenty-nine George Balanchine ballets in danger of being lost.
Help ensure that the steps to George Balanchine’s ballets are not forgotten.
