SAB students are excellent at finding their balance not only in the studio, but in all aspects of their lives. From academics to auditions, rehearsals to performances, we are always so impressed at how they manage to thrive in all areas. Watch our Q&A series with a few of our advanced students to get more details on how they do it: #LinkInBio

With the SAB Ball only a week away, our students have been busy with final rehearsals for the spectacular performance happening on the David H. Koch Theater stage at Lincoln Center. We spoke to choreographer Laine Habony, stager Kyra Nichols, and guest performer Roman Mejia about their preparation for the event and what our audience members can expect. See what they had to say and be sure to get your tickets for the show! #LinkInBio

It`s Mr. B`s birthday! Our iconic co-founder, George Balanchine, was born on this day in 1904. While not a day goes by without us celebrating his teachings and choreography, we like to take extra time each January 22 to marvel at the impact he made on ballet and American culture. Join the celebration and leave a comment with your favorite Balanchine ballet!
