Best Dance & Ballet This Month

in New York

October 2024

New York City Ballet: Coppelia at David H Koch Theater

New York City Ballet: Coppelia

This delightful masterpiece performed by the iconic New York City Ballet tells the enchanting story of a whimsical inventor and his astonishing creation. This lifelike doll sparks both curiosity and chaos in a quaint village. For more than a century, Copplia has been enchanting audiences. In 1974, when Balanchine decided to add Copplia to NYCB's repertory, he took the opportunity to update the ballet, adding some male solos gently, more pas de deux, and a new third act.

Ballet Hispanico at Mccarter Theatre Center

Ballet Hispanico

Formed in 1971 by Venezuelan dancer ex-pat Tina Ramirez, this New York-based dance company dedicates itself to preserving and celebrating the legacy of Latin dance, and the experiences of its Latin and Hispanic dancers, who make up the company. Having performed for more than two million people in the United States, Europe, and South America, they have brought the same recognition to their dancer as Alvin Ailey has done for black dancers.
