OUR FOCUS
Ballet: reimagined, reinvented, redefined.
Mission
NYC’s Arch Ballet (A|B) is the brainchild of Artistic Director and Choreographer Sheena Annalise. Founded in 2013, at a time when less than a quarter of U.S. ballet companies were led by women, A|B emerged with a singular mission: to ensure the continuous evolution of ballet, designed for an inclusive and varied 21st century audience.
IMPACT
Innovative concepts, music from electronic dance to neoclassical, and diverse, world-class dancers represent the culture of tomorrow. Technology, visual art, fashion, science, and current cultural ideas imbue each of A|B’s creations to fortify the future of dance by fostering collaboration, curiosity, and creativity at every level.
