This summer, The Joyce’s Ballet Festival returns for a one-week celebration of the life and legacy of Jerome Robbins.

This Ballet Festival features three programs with new combinations of Principal dancers from New York City Ballet (including Tiler Peck, Roman Mejia, Indiana Woodward), American Ballet Theatre (including Aran Bell, Cassandra TrenaryDevon Teuscher), Paris Opera Ballet (Paul Marque, Sae Eun Park), and the Royal Ballet (William Bracewell, Marcelino Sambé).

Performances will include A Suite of Dances danced by Tiler Peck, the first woman to dance this iconic role created by Jerome Robbins for Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Programs will feature the following works by Jerome Robbins:
 A Suite of Dances, Concertino, Dances at a Gathering (excerpt), Four Bagatelles, In the Night, Other Dances, Rondo
