PNB’s current program, ALL BALANCHINE, highlights the range and creativity George Balanchine brought to all of his work.

If you choose mostly A’s…
Square Dance
You’ve got an inclination for “invention,” “superb preparation for risks,” and “high spirits” in the words of George Balanchine himself! When your friends don’t know what to do, you’re the one to come up with a kooky idea on the fly – and it’s usually surprisingly fun!
If you choose mostly B’s…
Prodigal Son
You’ve got a big heart – and that sometimes gets you in trouble. Luckily, you’ve also got some special people in your life who are always ready to accept you when things get messy.
If you choose mostly C’s…
Stravinsky Violin Concerto
You’re cool, calm, and collected – but you’re also surprisingly fun to be around. You care about the finer things in life, and you want to do it all while having a great time doing it!
