Dancers' Choice Video Preview


Initiated by Peter Martins, Principal Dancer Jonathan Stafford was asked to conceive and supervise the evening along with its marketing and promotional efforts, marking the first time that a NYCB dancer has programmed and cast a Company performance. To assist him in planning the evening, Jonathan has put together a committee of dancers, including Kyle Froman, Craig Hall, Amanda Hankes, Adam Hendrickson, Ask la Cour, Henry Seth, and Daniel Ulbricht.

The evening also features special pricing with Orchestra, First, and Second Rings tickets at $45 and tickets for all other areas of the theater at $25.
