ABT Masters Series

A Daylong Immersive Experience for Adults 20 +

The ABT Masters Series is a daylong immersive experience for ballet fans to study one of ABT’s seminal classical works.

Designed for adults 20-years or older with beginner to advanced-beginner ballet experience, participants begin the day at ABT’s 890 Broadway studios for body conditioning and ballet technique classes before diving into a 90-minute repertoire workshop, exploring the history of the session’s ballet, its movement, and characters.

All workshops, classes and meet the artists are led by ABT Artistic Staff members, ABT Training Faculty or notable ABT alumni. All participants will receive an Orchestra ticket to attend that evening’s performance at Lincoln Center.
