Dance is another way that music can reach people because some people are more, they
learn with their eyes and it's friendlier for them to hear a piece of music with choreography.
It helps their imagination.
They connect with the, seeing someone move makes you feel your own body.
Being a stage set evokes, stimulates your imagination.
Music and all art, it's a much more, in a way it's a more specific language than the
words we use because it combines ideas and emotions.
The great thing about New York City Balne now is we have gotten Alexey Ratmansky as
our artist in residence.
Alexey is, along with Justin Peck who's really amazing, he actually did the new West Side
Story movie, he's a choreographer.
But Alexey is arguably the greatest choreographer of our time.
He also choreographs really great music, like Shostakovich concertos and things.
We are just so fortunate to have him coming here.
This is the company of Balanchine and Robbins and Alexey is, I mean getting him is just
a wonderful thing for everyone.
The dancers in particular, they love working with great choreographers like Justin and
Alexey.
They just love it.
It's like when you worked with your greatest piano teacher ever, like Leanne Fleischer
or whoever you played for, that's the way they feel when they're in the studio with
Alexey.
Wow.
