NYCB Dancers
Training
In 2008, New York City Ballet has 98 dancers--54 ladies and 44 men. Eighty-six percent come from the United States and 14% come from overseas. They were born in 26 different states and eight countries. Some of them enrolled at the School of American Ballet when they were children, and others began their training at different schools around the U.S. and abroad before being accepted into SAB when they were teenagers. Can you guess which states have the largest number of NYCB dancers? Did they study at your dance school? Do you know how many actually come from New York City? You're in the right place to find out.
