Engage students through New York City Ballet’s dynamic choreography, and invite them to learn about inspiration as a vehicle for creating art. By examining works by Founding Choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, and Resident Choreographer Justin Peck, students will be challenged to think critically, act creatively, and engage collaboratively as they learn how to choreograph their own dances.
NYCB Teaching Artists lead ten movement-based workshops that focus on the creative process and student-generated choreography. All workshops have been adapted for virtual learning and schools have the option to choose from live video classes and personalized prerecorded video workshops to meet the needs of both in-school and remote students.
Participating classes will experience a prerecorded virtual NYCB performance and Lecture Demonstration.
"It had a very positive effect on me and my students. It helps give a sense of community. This continued even during remote learning."
