The School of American Ballet’s Winter Ball Set for 3/5

The Winter Ball is The School of American Ballet's highest profile annual benefit. This glamorous black-tie dinner dance at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater is attended by 500 patrons, including the School's board members and alumni as well as leaders from the New York corporate and social communities. The event features a one-time-only performance by the advanced students of the School of American Ballet choreographed specifically for this event by SAB and NYCB alumna Melinda Roy. Proceeds from the Winter Ball are used to award scholarships, maintain world-class studios and residence halls, and offer vital student programs beyond the classroom.

This year Winter Ball guests will step outside of everyday life and into a fantasy world as the school honors ballet's Russian heritage. The David H. Koch Theatre Promenade will be transformed by Ron Wendt Designs and Van Cleef & Arpels into a dramatic and elaborate Winter Palace.

 

 The Encore is the Winter Ball's after-party. After dinner, 200 of the city's philanthropic chic young professionals join the Winter Ball for dancing and dessert. Dinner tickets include admission to The Encore and after-party only tickets are also available.
