UPCOMING SOCIAL MEDIA EVENTS FROM AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE

Here’s a list of highlights coming your way this week:

THURSDAY, April 2 on @ABTOfficial, Ethan Stiefel and Principal
Dancer @GillianEMurphy are launching #BalletNutsandBolts, a humorous Instagram series created by former ABT Principal and ABT JKO Faculty Member Ethan Stiefel that uses garage tools to illustrate technique tips in ballet. The limited series, shot by Gillian Murphy, will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12pm ET.

FRIDAY, April 3 at 12pm ET on @ABTOfficial Instagram, ABT Ballet Master Carlos Lopez will host a live ballet class to raise awareness for the ABT Crisis Relief Fund. Train like an ABT dancer for an hour with this special version of daily Company Class, including barre exercises and full-body conditioning.

SATURDAY, April 4 at 2pm ET on @ABTOfficial Instagram, Soloists Cassandra Trenary and Calvin Royal III will engage in an extended conversation
about Romeo and Juliet. The two dancers were slated to make their debuts in the title roles on this date at the Abu Dhabi Festival with the Cleveland Orchestra, a huge career milestone, and instead, they will be social distancing #AloneButTogether. They'll talk about the rehearsal process, what it has been like to learn the roles, and hopes to perform it in the future. The conversation will also raise awareness for the ABT Crisis Relief Fund.

Every week, MONDAY through THURSDAY, @ABTSchool Instagram and YouTube offers daily virtual classes taught by former ABT dancers, ABT JKO faculty and ABT teaching artists - all certified in the ABT National Training Curriculum. These classes will engage ABT’s youngest students and their families, as well as the global community at large, by exploring musicality, fostering creativity and imagination, and teaching ballet fundamentals. Classes will become available at the following times:

o #ABTots (Ages 2–4): Tuesdays & Thursdays at 10AM EST o Primary (Ages 5–8): Mondays & Wednesdays at 2PM EST
