The School of American Ballet’s Workshop Performance Benefit
06/08/2010 - By Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Lincoln Center

The School of American Ballet’s Workshop Performance Benefit

The School of American Ballet’s highly anticipated Workshop Performance Benefit was held on June 8, 2010.

The annual Workshop Performances are the School’s only public performances and offered the rare opportunity to get a sneak preview of the ballet world’s up and coming young stars. The program featured three performances: Scènes De Ballet featuring music by Igor Stravinsky and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon, Valse Fantaisie featuring music by Mikhail Glinka and choreographed by George Balanchine, and finally Bourrée Fantasque featuring music by Emmanuel Chabrier and choreographed by George Balanchine.

A benefit dinner followed the Tuesday evening performance, and attracted more than 550 arts patrons, corporate VIPs and New York’s social elite for a seated dinner and dancing in the SAB studios, which are transformed into elegant dining rooms for the evening.

Proceeds from the Workshop Performance Benefit support all aspects of the students’ training, including an extensive $1.3 million scholarship program ensuring that all children who are accepted to the School – including those from disadvantaged backgrounds – are able to attend.
