NYCB still has the largest repertoire by far of any American ballet company. It often stages 60 ballets or more in its winter and spring seasons at Lincoln Center each year, and 20 or more in its summer season in Saratoga Springs. City Ballet has performed "The Nutcracker", "Romeo and Juliet", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and many more. City Ballet has trained and developed many great dancers since its formation. Many dancers with already developed reputations have also joined the ballet as principal dancers.
Kansas City Ballet
The KCB Guild can be traced back to 1961 when a group of KCB mothers created a support group for the KCB. In 1967, this group became the KCB "Women's Committee", it was subsequently renamed the "Kansas City Ballet Guild." The KCB Guild is currently a group of nearly 200 Kansas City area ballet enthusiasts who serve as advocates for dance and ballet in the Kansas City community. It sponsors an annual student/company cast party, sponsors/funds dancer attendance at Guild events and provides holiday gifts for company dancers.The KCB Todd Bolender Society is a group of enthusiastic ballet supporters who make substantial annual donations and/or legacy endowments to the KCB. Members are invited to special KCB events such lunches/lectures with guest choreographers, social gatherings with company dancers, private rehearsals, and trips to dance performances.
