Happy Fourth of July, USA! We’re excited to be bringing back George Balanchine’s great American "Square Dance" next season, inspired by American folk traditions and Balanchine’s love of our beautiful country. Our Miami-flavored, reimagined "Square Dance" in May 2023, as part of program 4, brings back the role of The Caller, performed and written by Miami-raised hip hop dancer, rapper and playwright Rudi Goblen. Program 4: Afternoon of a Faun is currently on sale as part of a season subscription.

George Balanchine's Square Dance juxtaposes the structural clarity of its sleek leotard choreography with the richness of its Baroque score. Experience Square Dance this fall on the All Balanchine II program, opening September 17: nycballet.com/allbalanchine2 | New York City Ballet
