DANCE

Considered one of the three great American Ballet Companies, The Joffrey Ballet has been hailed as “America’s Company of Firsts”: the first dance company to perform at the White House at Jacqueline Kennedy’s invitation; the first to appear on television; the first American company to visit Russia; the first classical dance company to go multi-media; the first to commission a rock ‘n’ roll ballet; the first, and only dance company to appear on the cover of Time magazine; and the first major American ballet company to come to New Bedford!
