This summer Dancers’ Workshop welcomes the incredible artists of New York City
Ballet MOVES back to Jackson for a fourth year in a row! For five days in August, the company
will fill DW’s spaces at the Center for the Arts in Jackson with the grace and elegance of ballet
executed at its highest level, an experience that’s certainly worth taking a weekend trip to Jackson
this summer.

While in Jackson, NYCB company members will continue the activities that have become a tradition
of their yearly visits by teaching eight master classes for dancers age 11 and up, holding two free
open rehearsals, and performing three shows in the Center Theater. In addition to all of these
programs, this year DW and NYCB add a new educational focus to the residency by offering a
lecture-demonstration performance and a lecture/discussion of historical film footage with Jean-
Pierre Frolich, NYCB Artistic Administrator and expert on the work of Jerome Robbins (who was
one of NYCB’s Founding Choreographers, and whose dances are still performed by the company.)

Made up of corps, soloist, and principal level dancers, New York City Ballet MOVES is an elite
group of dancers drawn from the NYCB main company who tour to small and mid-size theaters
across the U.S. and the world. Four years ago, Dancers’ Workshop was the first presenter ever to
host an NYCB MOVES tour, and the success of that first trip to Jackson has continued ever since.
Every year DW presents NYCB MOVES, dance students in Jackson and the region get to learn from
premiere ballet masters, adult artists and dancers in Jackson get inspiration from the classical work
they see, and Jackson audiences get the chance to watch one of the world’s greatest ballet companies
in a beautiful, intimate setting. In return, the NYCB dancers, musicians, and staff members who
visit Jackson every year say that it is the absolute highlight of their touring season.

For anyone still looking for where to take a short summer vacation, Jackson Hole the first week of
August should be high on their list! Jackson is served by direct flights from Denver and Salt Lake,
and the drives from Montana, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah include many scenic byways. Beautiful
weather with blue skies and 80 degree temperatures is typical for Jackson in August, and the area
offers something for everyone- both low and high impact outdoor sports, lovely scenery and small
town, excellent accommodations (the Four Seasons, and Aman Resorts have properties in Jackson,
in addition to locally owned operations Hotel Terra, the Rusty Parrot Lodge, the Historic Wort
Hotel, and Town Square Inns), wonderful dining, and an abundance of cultural and artistic events. A
long weekend in Jackson could include a day in Grand Teton National Park or Yellowstone, almost
any outdoor sport you could imagine, attending concerts by New York City Ballet and the Grand
Teton Music Festival orchestra, a day wandering the historic downtown with its iconic town square
and elk antler arches, perusing galleries with local and internationally known artists’ work, and
taking advantage of Jackson’s well known outstanding hospitality services.
