Brooklyn Ballet

First up - Ballet at the Ballpark: A History of Ballet in Nine Innings, a story that BRIC TV aired in 2012 about our collaboration with the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball team. The piece tells our story; we create with Brooklyn’s talented dancers of all stripes and bring Ballet transformed to our communities. Check it out below. And at the NY Times!

Next - a piece from 2010 about our What is Ballet? Elevate performance at PS 251, with special guest Akua Noni Parker:

Our final vintage video of the series is the very first one, created by BCAT in 2007 at the Brooklyn Museum. Artistic Director Lynn Parkerson talks about why she founded Brooklyn Ballet. We hear from company dancers and Brooklyn Ballet students, and look out for the stage debut of 3rd grader John Abenanty, and second graders Naazir and Shaakir Muhammad, all now dancing professionally!
