FLASH FOOTAGE // Principal Dancers Chun Wai Chan and Unity Phelan in the first pas de deux from Christopher Wheeldon’s Polyphonia, performing roles originated by Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan and fellow former Principal Dancer Jock Soto, who Wheeldon lauds as “the most extraordinary partner of ballerinas that I ever worked with.” “What that did for me was, it enabled me to explore partnering in a way that was perhaps more inventive.” See the living legacy of invention in motion during remaining performances of Polyphonia on the Wheeldon Martins Peck program.

Challenging a strange, beautiful pose 🤣
On today, the 90th Anniversary of “Serenade”, I remember not only the amazing moments on stage during the ballet, but the people who I’ve shared these moments with. I was lucky enough to have the first @nycballet show I ever attended begin with Serenade and I fell in love. The abandon, the clarity, the cohesion in spirit, it all looked like it felt so good and was truly beautiful to behold. I watched @janieclaire spin and leap and waltz all over the stage, eating up all the space. When I got the chance to dance the corps of Serenade, I relished in every moment. I loved feeling the beating heart of the piece and being on stage with all the amazing dancers I looked up to so much. Fast forward a number of years and I got the chance to learn and perform the Dark Angel under careful supervision from the most amazing coaches and mentors. Dancing alongside friends I so admire and also dancing with my now husband made this moment extra special. Last year, I danced the waltz girl for the first time. My throat swelled up when I ran in as though late. I couldn’t believe I was there, doing the role that made me fall madly in love with Balanchine and New York City Ballet. I kept telling myself, don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry, this show was filmed for PBS and I didn’t know if they were doing a close up. Having that film will always be special, my first time the role I had seen years before. I’m so grateful my life has lead me to this place, getting to work with so many coaches, mentors and ballerinas on this beautiful ballet- getting to stand in the spot that I watched all those years ago- and hopefully allowing another young, hopeful, 13 year old to fall in love with it just like I did.
