She first staged it on our students when it made its Workshop debut 50 years ago and has staged it every few years since. This year marks the eighth time she’s guided our students through the gorgeous choreography of this monumental ballet; cementing the powerful legacy of Mr. B’s first ballet created in America, for another generation of dancers. In a recent rehearsal, Ms. Schorer was joined by her former students and former NYCB principal dancers Maria Calegari, Kyra Nichols, and Stephanie Saland, as well as current principal dancer Sara Mearns. With all four having ample experience performing the work during their careers, it was a unique and special opportunity for our current students to hear first-hand from these acclaimed ballerinas on the nuances they each brought to the principal roles in the ballet.

Ms. Farrell auditioned for the School of American Ballet at age 15 and was awarded a full scholarship in 1959. Mr. Balanchine invited her to join the New York City Ballet in the fall of 1961, and was in turn inspired by her unique combination of musical, physical, and dramatic gifts. She quickly rose through the ranks to become a principal dancer. Mr. Balanchine created several masterpieces for her and she originated starring roles in many ballets including DON QUIXOTE, MOZARTIANA, and CHACONNE, to name only a few. Ms. Farrell`s illustrious career as a performer, répetiteur, company director, and teacher is a true inspiration. We are so grateful our students were able to spend a few hours soaking up her grace, wit, and expertise. It was certainly a day to remember!
