Balanchine technique
Ballet performance style[ / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balanchine technique or Balanchine method is the ballet performance style[1] invented by dancer, choreographer, and teacher George Balanchine (1904–1983), and a trademark of the George Balanchine Foundation.[1] It is used widely today in many of Balanchine's choreographic works. It is employed by ballet companies and taught in schools throughout North America, including the New York City Ballet and School of American Ballet, where it first emerged.[2]
