There`s still time to sign up for the upcoming winter session of Little Dancers with classes starting later this month! These introductory ballet classes - led by members of SAB’s faculty who are current or former dancers with New York City Ballet - focus on teaching the fundamentals of dance, developing spatial awareness, and introducing elementary ballet steps. Live music will accompany each class, allowing students to better understand the relationship between music and dance and helping them to develop a sense of musicality.
Open to children ages 4-5 years old as of January 23, 2024, or who turned 6 after September 1, 2023. We only have a few spots left so sign up today: #LinkInBio

On this day—January 2—in 1934, George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein first opened SAB’s doors on 637 Madison Avenue in New York City. Since then, SAB’s impact on ballet in America has been immeasurable. All year long we’ll be celebrating SAB’s 90th Anniversary and we hope you’ll join us for this historic occasion.

To kick things off, four of our current New York City Ballet apprentices recreated this iconic shot taken at SAB in 1937 for LIFE Magazine by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.
