Dance Schools - New York City Ballet

Teachers

Dance Schools

This is a great group activity for classes of 10 – 25 students. Teachers know better than anyone that part of a dancer’s training is to experience different types of technique, to see as many performances as possible, to meet other performers, in short, to fully explore the world of dance and its many influences. For ballet students, the Company’s world-class artists, repertory and facilities provide a level of exposure and inspiration in one day that is unrivalled. The Ballet Experience gives your students an up-close, personal, and  unforgettable participation in the life of New York City Ballet. The Company looks forward to meeting you and  your students.
