NYCB, the largest dance organization in America, gets their groove on in a parody skit far from the Vaganova method /lol/. The skit features NYCB Dancers Sara Mearns, Amar Ramasar, Amanda Hankes and others. We're not sure this is what George Balanchine had in mind, but Lincoln Kirstein would be proud.
Interesting!
Also, the whole idea of Caltrava at NYCB... WOW!
Thank you, Peter Martins.

Will the NYCB girls ever "make-up" so that they look attractive? The boys have it right, however.

Wow, even for a parody, that was awful. It looked uncomfortable and out of touch. Reinforced that ballet dancers live in a cultural bubble to the nth degree. Totally embarrassing considering they represent NY.
