Stars of American Ballet

George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Gerald Arpino, and Twyla Tharp are influential choreographers who shaped American dance in the 20th century. Each choreographer contributed uniquely to the evolution of dance, expanding its artistic and expressive possibilities. This program explores the shaping of the American dance scene with Robbins’ “In the Night,” an excerpt from Arpino’s “Light Rain,” Tharp’s “Brel,” and Balanchine’s “Who Cares” (concert version).

Dancers appearing courtesy of New York City Ballet and Houston Ballet.
