The future of ballet in the USA
Celebrating the growing diversity in an art form mostly dominated by traditionally white dancers, this special presentation is curated by two of ballet's up and coming superstars, Misty Copeland, Principal Dancer of American Ballet Theatre and Justin Peck of New York City Ballet. Over the course of six days, they will both select their own programs to showcase, with yet-to-be-announced big names in dance, and an opening gala with a very special guest. A fantastic way to experience the future of ballet!
