The newly formed touring group of the New York City Ballet will make a stop at the Valley Performing Arts Center this fall. The group, called New York City Ballet Moves, is scheduled to perform in Northridge on Oct. 22.
In January, the New York City Ballet announced the launch of the group, which will consist of a small set of artists from the full company that will perform at smaller venues, such as university auditoriums. The company said it may send multiple groups on the road at the same time.
Shortly after the announcement of the new traveling group, the union representing New York City Ballet dancers filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, stating that they had not been consulted about the creation of the new group.
The dispute was resolved earlier this month as part of the company's larger contract negotiations with its dancers.
New York City Ballet Moves is scheduled to give its first performances on July 31 and Aug. 1 as part of the Vail International Dance Festival in Colorado. The ballets programmed by the group will come mostly from the company's existing repertory.
The Valley Performing Arts Center features 1,700 seats in its main hall, and is the largest space of its kind in the San Fernando Valley. The center, located on the campus of Cal State Northridge, officially opened in January.

Hopefully since it's only one night they will have engagements at other SoCal venues (thinking similar venues like the Karen Carpenter Center in Long Beach or the Irvine Barclay, Cypress Performing Arts Center, UCLA Royce Hall??--though all already announced their 2011-12 seasons, but presumably before the contract negotiations were settled). Here's to hoping...has anyone seen any other dates through the country?
