Hopeless romantic, pure classicist, intellectual modernist - find out how George Balanchine's many different sides come across in his extraordinary body of work, and how he established the first truly American ballet company

New York City Ballet was the first ballet company I saw in this country . Seeing Balanchine’s works impacted me greatly as a dancer and spectator. His use of the music and the dancers made me deeply fall in love with Ballet.
