Tickets are $30 ($20 for students) and are available at www.manhattanyouthballet.org.

The program will include George Balanchine’s timeless work “LaSource” as well as pieces by MYB Faculty members Marina Stavitskaya (ballet mistress and actress for “Black Swan”), MYB Artistic Director Francois Perron, Deborah Wingert, and Nadege Hottier.
