Did you know that many of our advanced students are teaching assistants for our Children`s Division? This not only gives faculty members extra help in the studios with our younger dancers, but it also gives those students a chance to be inspired by fellow students in the upper divisions as they demonstrate technique. 💙

It may be April Fools’ Day, but our Children’s Division students aren’t fooling when it comes to all the reasons they love being SAB students! Take their advice and register your child to audition for SAB’s children’s classes. We’re holding auditions for 6-10-year-olds all this month! #LinkInBio

In the news: SAB`s Director of Intermediate/Advanced Divisions and Artistic Programming, Jenifer Ringer, was featured in a recent New York Times article by dance critic Gia Kourlas. An alumna of the School herself, Ms. Ringer stepped into her new role this past fall. Read the article to learn more about how Ms. Ringer is leading our ballet students with grace, mercy and hard-won experience. #LinkInBio

Sprinkle your Saturday with magic by attending our Beauty of Ballet Lecture Demonstration at the Claire Tow Theater at Brooklyn College. This FREE performance begins at 2 PM and provides a glimpse at what it`s like to train to become a professional dancer at the School of American Ballet. Specially tailored for children, the program includes excerpts from THE NUTCRACKER, SWAN LAKE, and more, performed to live music and in exquisite costumes. Plus you`ll have a chance to snap a picture with our student performers and ask them your questions after the show! This is our last community lecture demonstration for the year, so we hope to see you there: #LinkInBio

It may seem cliche, but being true to yourself and finding your unique strengths leads to a level of self-confidence that’s vital to success and fulfillment in dance and in life. As faculty member Gonzalo Garcia puts it in our latest #OverheardAtSAB video: concentrating on your best qualities is much more productive than fixating on attributes you’re lacking. You do you!
