Organization Overview

The School of American Ballet (SAB) at Lincoln Center, founded by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, is the preeminent ballet school in the country.  Our mission is to train professional dancers for careers in classical ballet.  We provide the resources for a diverse pool of students to train at the highest level – with 15-25 a year going on to dance for New York City Ballet, our official but independent company, and other major ballet companies worldwide.  SAB has a far-reaching impact on the art form and enriches the lives of each student who comes through our doors, over 800 annually, ages 6 to 18.  SAB has approximately 85 part- and full-time employees and an operating budget of $17 million.
