		Evans has been called "magnetic," and in a New York Times review, he was described as "understated but brimming with quiet passion and intensity." Maria Kowroski, a reigning prima ballerina for the NYCB, is well-known for her long, elegant legs and assuredness on stage.
		She is best known for Balanchine works, with The New York Times saying "she is as close to the ideal of the classical ballerina as anyone in the company." The newspaper calls her "tall, willowy and graceful" and perhaps "the most elegant of the city ballet principals."

		NEW YORK CITY--When Lincoln Kirstein raced out of the Metropolitan Opera House immediately after a dress rehearsal of the Kirov Ballet's production of Theme and Variations in 1989, Francia Russell panicked.
		On Friday, January 5, before that evening's performance of Balanchine's Serenade, NYCB ballet master in chief Peter Martins took the stage, holding a bottle of vodka and the glass he said Kirstein had used when he joined Martins for a drink at the end of each day.

		Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief of the New York City Ballet, and four graceful dancers--two men, two women--offer a beautifully produced, challenging, 90-minute strength and flexibility workout.
		Here in NYC Ballet 2, the dancers are expressionless, and the entire instruction is done by a voice over from someone who remains completely monotone the entire video.
		Some of the ballet terms used are not fully explained during the workout, but there is a video glossary that should explain the terms if you are unfamiliar.

		Martins uses ballet terminology in his cuing and no technique is taught, so it's look-and-follow if you have no previous ballet training.
		I have never studied ballet formally, but was familiar with the five basic positions and many of the other common ballet exercises.
		Perhaps in conjunction with one of the ballet instruction videos or books, this would be better for beginners, but I think a semester of ballet classes would be more reward for the money in that case.

		The highlight of the first half of New York City Ballet's winter season was unquestionably Christopher Wheeldon's new After the Rain.
		The ballet premiered on January 22, as part of the company's annual "New Combinations Evening" celebrating George Balanchine's birthday--this year, also the night of an impressive blizzard.
		Those hardy audience members who braved the outing were rewarded: Wheeldon's 11th ballet for the company, set to two pieces by Arvo Part (Tabula Rasa and Spiegel im Spiegel), is so full of beauty and invention that it's a shock to learn that it is only 15 minutes long.

	ABC News: New York City Ballet Films Russian Tour
		NEW YORK Nov 10, 2006 (AP)— Three summers ago, the New York City Ballet returned to St. Petersburg, Russia, 20 years after the death of the troupe's visionary co-founder, George Balanchine, who was born there.
		On one level, the title "Bringing Balanchine Back" is a straightforward description of NYCB's return to Russia, which is captured in the film through a mix of interviews, performance excerpts and always-entertaining backstage footage.
		On another, not-so-subtle level, the title echoes the subtext driven home throughout the documentary: how well NYCB is thriving two decades after Balanchine died, leaving his company with an incredible wealth of ballets and an enormous pair of shoes to fill.

		I was already a dancer but started actual ballet lessons last year and due to using this workout, i found my first lesson a doddle and the teacher was shocked I'd never done an actual ballet class before.

		In addition to NYCB, where alumni of the School comprise over ninety percent of the current company roster, SAB students go on to dance for American Ballet Theatre, Arthur Mitchell’s Dance Theatre of Harlem, Miami City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Pacific Northwest Ballet, among others.

	New York City Ballet
		NEW YORK -- A jubilant atmosphere at the State Theater Tuesday, as the New York City Ballet kicked off this glorious nine-week season of performances to celebrate the late George Balanchine's centennial and his legacy.
		As Gounod (and conductor Hugo Fiorato) wakes up the brass and percussion sections, the maidens did indeed race, and were indeed beautiful with their silky tresses flowing behind 'em, but the musical and choreographic escalation toward this climax seemed almost comically steep.
		But as Ellen Barr, Saskia Beskow, and Gwyneth Muller began the ballet in their long white gloves with that quirky, coded movement vocabulary, I couldn't shake that impulse to see the Balanchine amongst the strong performances onstage.

		NYCB's new resident choreographer Christopher Wheeldon vividly demonstrates the ability to speak in his own strong voice, using the ballet lexicon.
		Watching the Saturday matinee, I was reminded that, in fact, NYCB is a "regional" ballet company, as opposed to, say, American Ballet Theatre, which is international in stature.
		An insightful colleague of mine characterized it thus: Most ballet dancers are busy showing off their dancing, while City Ballet dancers are too busy dancing to have time to show off.

		I take open adult ballet class with the Houston Ballet 3 times a week and find this tape is invaluable for increasing my abilities in class.
		Some of the draw backs on this DVD are that if you dont have experience in ballet your might have trouble with some of the steps- they arent explained by the narrater (the steps were easy for me because I have about five years of previous ballet experience).
		I would recommend that first time dancers take a beginner ballet class before trying this workout though, because you may not be able to follow everything and be able to do it correctly.

	Exercise, Workout and Fitness Video Reviews - The New York City Ballet Workout
		No special equipment, other than a mat and a towel are needed as most of the work that would normally be done at a ballet barre is done on the floor.
		This isn't as serious as it sounds as the angle soon changes and you're able to see better, but it is a minor annoyance when combined with the lack of cueing and instruction.
		Following the workout are short video profiles of the New York City dancers who starred in the workout: Helene Alexopoulis, Albert Evans, Edward Liang and Deanna McBrearty.
