About New York City Ballet

New York City Ballet is one of the world's foremost dance companies, founded in 1948 by choreographer George Balanchine and impresario Lincoln Kirstein. Based at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in Manhattan, the company is celebrated for its athletic, musically driven neoclassical style and for a repertory anchored by the masterworks of Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. Led today by Artistic Director Jonathan Stafford and Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan, its roster of more than 90 dancers performs alongside the 62-piece New York City Ballet Orchestra. In early 2026 the company premiered its 499th and 500th original ballets, and its 2026-27 season celebrates the 60th anniversary of Balanchine's Jewels with five world premieres.
