The School of American Ballet – official academy of New York City Ballet – has given spring Workshop Performances at Lincoln Center since 1965, dancing the works of George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Marius Petipa, and Jerome Robbins among others. Many of the students appearing in these annual performances have gone on to illustrious careers with major ballet companies. Dancers include Fernando Bujones, Darci Kistler, Maria Kowroski, and Ethan Stiefel and this exhibition – part of the School’s 75th Anniversary celebrations – chronicles their New York debuts with SAB. Renowned dance photographers Martha Swope and Paul Kolnik are among those represented in the exhibition.
