April 13: Meet the Ballerina

An Unforgettable Afternoon of Dance!

Join us on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at 3 PM for our Meet the Ballerina Matinee, a great experience for adults, families, and young people. Begin the afternoon with our pre-show celebration featuring a live DJ and dancing in the Grand Tier Lobby. Then, immerse yourself in our extraordinary program that includes two company premieres including William Forsythe’s The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude, a high-octane work set to Schubert’s exhilarating Symphony No. 9 and George Balanchine’s  Donizetti Variations, a joyful, effervescent series of dances brimming with warmth and wit. The afternoon program also includes a New York premiere by Robert Garland, and the world premiere of a captivating new work by Jodie Gates.

After the curtain falls, the magic continues with our Meet the Ballerina event, where young dance enthusiasts can meet and take pictures with the stars of Dance Theatre of Harlem. Whether you are looking to inspire a young person’s love for ballet or if you are craving an afternoon for yourself, this is a program that will ignite your spirit. Don’t miss the magic!
