SUPPORT NYCB // For many New York City Public School students, NYCB's student matinees are their first experience with the art of ballet. Corps de Ballet Member Mary Elizabeth Sell shares what makes these performances such a treasured experience: "Student matinees introduce children to the special holiday tradition of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker®. I love to hear the reactions of excitement and laughter from the audience, because I know they are enjoying the ballet as much as I do!" ⁠ ⁠ Tap this post in our #lininbio to become a Member today and help us bring the incredible gift of dance to a new generation of students. Your gift will be matched 1:1 until December 31.⁠ ⁠ Photo by Paul Kolnik⁠ ⁠ #nutcracker #thenutcracker #holidayseason #georgebalanchinesthenutcracker #georgebalanchine #balanchine #ballet #dance #nycb #nycballet #newyorkcityballet #newyorkholiday #happyholidays
