On January 2, 1934, George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein opened the doors of the School of American Ballet (SAB) in New York City as the first and most essential step in their mission to establish a uniquely American style of ballet. In celebration of SAB’s 90th anniversary, acclaimed faculty member Suki Schorer and the school's advanced students will vividly illuminate the key principles and technical elements that distinguish George Balanchine's enduring approach to classical ballet. With an introduction by SAB Artistic Director and Chairman of Faculty Jonathan Stafford, the presentation will include the performance of excerpts from several Balanchine masterpieces, including Serenade and Symphony in C.
