Suki Schorer, longtime School of American Ballet teacher and former New York City Ballet principal under George Balanchine, gives a teacher-training workshop at Eglevsky Ballet in Bethpage, New York, June 15–17. The workshop, Schorer's first in many years, includes a general presentation on Balanchine aesthetics; technique classes with explanations and commentary for teachers; setting brief excerpts from his ballets so teachers can see how to apply Balanchine's technique to his repertory; demonstrations by current New York City Ballet soloists; and opportunities for questions and comments from teachers. "People have asked me to do this over the years, and I just haven't been able to make it work," she says. "But as I get older, I really feel like I need to pass down as much as I can. Balanchine used to always say, 'Now is the time,' and that is exactly how I feel."

Sometimes as an artist, you need to leave the studio behind.
Just ask Summation Dance co-founders Taryn Vander Hoop and Sumi Clements.
