AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE DANCERS

TO BE FEATURED ON TV’s JEOPARDY!

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2015

For the second time this year, dancers from American Ballet Theatre will be featured in a special ballet category on the television quiz show JEOPARDY!. On Tuesday, November 17, 2015, in a category entitled “Tough Ballet,” ABT Company members will demonstrate iconic excerpts from its repertoire and read the accompanying clues.

The JEOPARDY! crew traveled to ABT’s New York City rehearsal studios last February to film footage for the category with Principal Dancers Gillian Murphy and Cory Stearns, Soloists Sarah Lane and Craig Salstein and corps de ballet member Blaine Hoven. This will be American Ballet Theatre’s second appearance on JEOPARDY!; last May, ABT dancers presented clues in a category dedicated to the Company’s 75th Anniversary.
