New York City Ballet (NYCB) is a ballet company founded in 1948 by choreographer George Balanchine[1] and Lincoln Kirstein.[2] Léon Barzin was the company's first music director. Balanchine and Jerome Robbins are considered the founding choreographers of the company. City Ballet grew out of earlier troupes: the Producing Company of the School of American Ballet,[3] 1934; the American Ballet,[4] 1935, and Ballet Caravan, 1936, which merged into American Ballet Caravan,[5] 1941; and directly from the Ballet Society,[6][7] 1946.
The company was named New York City Ballet when it became resident at City Center of Music and Drama in 1948.[8][9] Its success was marked by its move to the New York State Theater, now David H. Koch Theater, designed by Philip Johnson to Balanchine's specifications. City Ballet went on to become the first ballet company in the United States to have two permanent venue engagements: one at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater on 63rd Street in Manhattan, and another at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, in Saratoga Springs, New York. The School of American Ballet (S.A.B.), which Balanchine founded, is the training school of City Ballet.
After the company's move to the State Theater, Balanchine's creativity as a choreographer flourished. He created works that were the basis of the company's repertory until his death in 1983. His vision influenced dance both across the United States and in Europe. He worked closely with choreographer Jerome Robbins, who resumed his connection with the company in 1969 after having produced works for Broadway.
NYCB still has the largest repertoire by far of any American ballet company, and 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. Also, many dancers with already developed reputations have joined City Ballet as principal dancers.

In 1960 Balanchine mounted City Ballet's Salute to Italy with premieres of Monumentum pro Gesualdo and Variations from Don Sebastian, called the Donizetti Variations since 1961, as well as performances of his La Sonnambula and Lew Christensen's Con Amore. The performance was repeated in 1968.
In 1972 Balanchine offered an eight-day tribute to the composer, his great collaborator, who had died the year before. His programs included twenty-two new works of his own dances, plus works by choreographers Todd Bolender, John Clifford, Lorca Massine, Jerome Robbins, Richard Tanner and John Taras, as well as repertory ballets by Balanchine and Robbins. Balanchine created Symphony in Three Movements, Duo Concertant and Violin Concerto for the occasion. He and Robbins co-choreographed and performed in Pulcinella. Balanchine produced an earlier Stravinsky festival as balletmaster of the American Ballet while engaged by the Metropolitan Opera in 1937. The composer conducted the April 27th premiere of Card Party.
In 1975 Balanchine paid his respects to the French composer Maurice Ravel with a two-week Hommage à Ravel. Balanchine, Robbins, Jacques d'Amboise, and Taras made sixteen new ballets for the occasion. Repertory ballets were performed as well. High points included Balanchine's Le Tombeau de Couperin and Robbins' Mother Goose. NYCB is a professional school
In 1981 Balanchine planned a two-week NYCB festival honoring the Russian composer Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky. Balanchine, Joseph Duell, d'Amboise, Peter Martins, Robbins and Taras created twelve new dances. In addition to presenting these and repertory ballets, Balanchine re-choreographed his Mozartziana from 1933. Philip Johnson and John Burgee's stage setting of translucent tubing was designed by to be hung and lit in different architectural configurations throughout the entire festival.
In 1982 Balanchine organized a centennial celebration in honor of his long-time collaborator Igor Stravinsky during which twenty-five ballets set to the composer’s music were performed by City Ballet. Balanchine made three new ballets, Tango, Élégie and Persephone, and a new version of Variations.[10]
On April 26, 1984, NYCB celebrated the 20th anniversary of the New York State Theater. The program started with Igor Stravinsky's Fanfare for a New Theater, followed by Stravinsky's arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner. The ballets included: three of Balanchine's works, Serenade, Stravinsky Violin Concerto, and Sonatine; and Jerome Robbins' Afternoon of a Faun. The performers included Maria Calegari, Kyra Nichols, Heather Watts, Leonid Kozlov, Afshin Mofid, Patricia McBride, Helgi Tomasson, Karin von Aroldingen, Lourdes Lopez, Bart Cook, and Joseph Duell.[11]
After Balanchine's death in 1983, Peter Martins was selected as balletmaster of the company. For its 40th anniversary, Martins held an American Music Festival, having commissioned dances from choreographers Laura Dean, Eliot Feld, William Forsythe, Lar Lubovitch and Paul Taylor. He also presented ballets by George Balanchine and Robbins. The programs included world premieres of more than twenty dances. Martins contributed Barber Violin Concerto, Black and White, The Chairman Dances, A Fool for You, Fred and George, Sophisticated Lady, Tanzspiel, Tea-Rose and The Waltz Project.
A major component of the Spring 2008 season was a celebration of Jerome Robbins; major revivals were mounted of the following ballets:
Friday, June 27, 2008 the first Dancers’ Choice benefit was held for the Dancers' Emergency Fund. The program was initiated by Peter Martins, conceived and supervised by principal dancer Jonathan Stafford, assisted by Kyle Froman, Craig Hall, Amanda Hankes, Adam Hendrickson, Ask la Cour, Henry Seth and Daniel Ulbricht, and consisted of:

and excerpts from:
Sunday June 14, 2009 the second Dancers’ Choice benefit was held at a special evening performance, the program included: Sleeping Beauty and Union Jack.[13][14] This program was supervised by principal dancer Jenifer Ringer.
NYCB performs winter and spring repertory seasons at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center as well as George Balanchine's Nutcracker during November and December; they have a summer residency at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and regularly tour internationally.
City Ballet's Fourth Ring Society offers discounted tickets to members. Membership is open to the general public.[15]
Introductory talks about the current performance, called Dancer Chats or First Position Discussions,[16] are held before some performances or during some intervals; the docents are volunteers and include laymen as well as former dancers.
City Ballet's Choreographic Institute was founded by Irene Diamond and Peter Martins in 2000 . The institute has three main programmatic programs: choreographic sessions, providing choreographers with dancers and studio space; fellowship initiatives, annual awards in support of an emerging choreographer affiliated with a ballet company; and choreographic forums, symposia and round-table discussions on choreography, music, and design elements.
Peter Martins, who first danced with City Ballet in 1967 joined the company as a principal dancer in 1970, [17] in 1981 was named balletmaster, a title shared with Balanchine, Robbins and John Taras. Martins served as co-balletmaster in chief with Robbins from 1983 to 1989 and assumed sole directorship of the company in 1990.

The 62 piece NYCB Orchestra is an important symphonic institution in its own right, having played for virtually all of the thousands of performances NYCB has given over the decades. The orchestra accompanies the ballet on all of its North American Tours. And while the ballet uses local orchestras on its international tours, oftentimes, members of the NYCB Orchestra will come along as soloists or extras.

Thought It Wold Be Nice Too Make A Video For Every Tenn Mom 2 Girl.. Heres Jenelle's (: Comment , Rate , Like, Subscribee !(:
I thought this song fit Jenelle so perfectly. I've been wanting to make a video of her for awhile and I thought since the season just ended it was a good time. Jenelle's my favorite out of all the moms. Some people think that's crazy but I guess I just have a soft spot for her. Her story breaks my heart, hearing her say that she hates being lonely and she doesn't feel loved by anyone on the reunion broke my heart. I really feel for her. I have no idea how she lives with a mother like that, I really don't. I don't know how any mother could say that their child isn't loveable. That REALLY made me angry. Jenelle, if you happen to watch this - please keep your head up! You are a strong, beautiful girl and you deserve NOTHING but the best. Never forget that. I hope things start to go up for you. If I could, I'd give you a big hug - so I'm sending them through my computer. BIG HUGS FOR YOU, I know you could use some :) Oh and don't even try leaving negative comments on this video, they WILL be deleted as soon as I see them so for your own benefit - don't waste your time. Thank you. Ughh I'm really annoyed because this video isn't the best quality and it didn't uplaod in HD. Not uploading again though, that could take hours. Sorry.
Introducing the Crossroad by Storm... The number one factor of ball motion is coverstock. So, when we are looking to expand upon the Victory Road with the proven components of the Hy-Road, we first started with the R2S hybrid reactive shell that seemed to match up on every lane condition imaginable. Finished to 1500-grit as well, the new Crossroad is sure to skid through even the most hooking heads around. But if your speed is higher and the heads are slick, you can still adjust the surface texture easily as R2S is one of the most versatile coverstocks on the market. Encasing the Hy-Road shell around the Victory Road's Inverted Fe³ Technology™ weight block gave us the best of both worlds. The advancements made in Fe³ allowed us to utilize a larger mass to increase the dynamics, upping the differential approximately 15% in the 15 pounders. More differential equals moreflare, and you can control the amount of flare with the proper layout. Put your favorite layout in the new Crossroad and your next tournament you'll be the first to cross the finish line! Storm - We are "the Bowler's Company™" For more info visit: bowlersdeals.com
So I got the Sony Vegas 9 trail AGAIN! Yay! I don't know how but now this means I can make videos for 30 days so I'm happy! Anyways, Jenelle's birthday was yesterday and I meant to upload it for her birthday but I have been SO SO busy lately it's crazy. I have school, then babysit, then driver's ed so I'm never home which is why I haven't been making videos a lot. So Jenelle, if you see this: Happy (late) 20th Birthday! I'm sorry it's a day late! You're my favorite Teen Mom EVER. You've made such a huge turn around and you're such a good Mommy to Jace :) He's a very lucky lil boy! I hope you like this video even though you deserve so much more! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it was the best! :) And to all of you who watch Teen Mom, I know it's very frustrating for Jenelle for you to all be seeing THIS which was a horrible time in her life. I hope you all know it was taped like a year ago, a lot has changed and she's doing AMAZING! If anyone could tweet this to her, I would SO appreciate it! Her twitter is pbandjenelley_1 :)
With shackles around her ankles ... "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans shuffled her way into a North Carolina courtroom wearing a lovely black and white striped ensemble provided by the Brunswick County Jail. As we previously reported, Evans was arrested yesterday for violating a domestic violence protective order. Jenelle's lawyer tells us the allegation is that Evans' ex-roommate received a text from Jenelle ... despite an order prohibiting contact. Jenelle's lawyer says the MTV star denies any wrongdoing. Despite her smiling mug shot from Monday evening ... Evans appeared pretty upset during today's appearance. Evans was released from custody after posting $1000 bond. She's due back in court on Feb. 6th. Last week, the 20-year-old was arrested for allegedly making harassing phone calls and threatening her ex-roommate. On top of all that, Jenelle is still on probation for beating up some chick last year. Jenelle's two-year-old son is currently in the custody of her mother.

www.teen.com You may not believe us when we tell you this, but the girls from Teen Mom 2 are, like, legitimately awesome in real life. We know, we know. Their drama in the tabloids and the ridiculous things we see them do on TV may make you think otherwise, but you've gotta trust us on this one. When we sat down to talk to Jenelle, Chelsea, Kailyn and Leah it was like they were our BFFS, ya know, just chatting about their celebrity crushes, their attraction to bad boys, and what we can expect from season 2. Oh, AND, you'll never guess which Teen Mom still thinks her ex-boyfriend is hot! Watch the vid to find out! Liked this video?

Enjoy Jenelle Evams fight with sound effects
I've been wanting to make this video for sooo long for many reasons. One, because Jenelle LOVED my last video of her to Stand in the Rain, and because this is one of my all time favorite country songs, and I think it's so fitting of Jenelle's situation with Kieffer, whenever I hear it, it reminds me of her. As I'm sure you all know, Jenelle's my favorite Teen Mom from both season. My heart breaks for her this season. It's sad to watch her just spiral out of control and hit rock bottom. Luckily she's doing A LOT better now and has a new guy.
