Guys Dance Too

Making dance accessible for male dancers of all ages and abilities

Think of all the men who have powerfully impacted the world of dance: Sir Anthony Dowell, Arthur Mitchell, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Jerome Robbins, and perhaps one of the greatest of all, George Balanchine. The list is endless.

Prioritizing programming for male dancers and normalizing accessibility for male dancers to pursue their interest and passion is the reason behind Ballet in the City’s ‘Guys Dance Too’ program.
