WHAT:
The
Winter Ball is The School
of American Ballet’s highest profile
annual benefit and this year will
serve as the School’s celebration of
their 75th Anniversary.
This glamorous black-tie dinner
dance at Lincoln Center’s New York
State Theater is attended by over
400 patrons, including the School’s
board members and alumni as well as
leaders from the New York corporate
and social communities. The event
features a one-time-only performance
by the advanced students of the
School choreographed specifically
for this event by a noted artist.
Proceeds from the
Winter Ball are used to
award scholarships, maintain
world-class studios and residence
halls, and offer vital student
programs beyond the classroom.
The Encore is the
Winter Ball’s
after-party. After dinner, 200 of
the city’s philanthropic chic young
professionals join the
Winter Ball for dancing
and dessert. Dinner tickets include
admission to
The
Encore and after-party
