NEW YORK CITY BALLET INC
Mission
George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirsten formed New York City Ballet with the goal of producing and performing a new ballet repertory that would reimagine the principles of classical dance. The company remains dedicated to their vision as it pursues two primary objectives: • to preserve the ballets, dance aesthetic, and standards of excellence created and established by its founders; and • to develop new work that draws on the creative talents of contemporary choreographers and composers, and speaks to the time in which it is made. This mission is accompanied by a commitment to expand the Company’s audience and make ballet accessible to the widest possible public through touring, education programs, the creative use of media, and other outreach efforts.
