NYTB tours its programs both nationally and abroad. Audiences know the Company for its theatrical expressiveness, high production quality, and intimate accessibility to every audience member. For 37 years, NYTB has produced, for adult and family audiences, dozens of classic masterpieces and contemporary ballets.
