Balanchine Master of the Dance refers to the legendary choreographer George Balanchine (1904–1983), founder of the New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet. Renowned for pioneering neoclassical ballet and collaborating closely with composers like Igor Stravinsky, Balanchine created more than 400 works that shaped modern ballet as we know it. While he is primarily recognized for his choreographic output rather than as a recording artist, his influence stretches across companies, repertoires, and generations of dancers. This page covers a detailed biography, notable milestones, and the enduring impact of Balanchine’s work, with information on upcoming screenings and related events that celebrate his legacy.
