Film Screening at Saratoga Public Library

Connie Hochman is holding a screening of her new film, “In Balanchine’s Classroom,” in the Dutcher community room at the Saratoga Public Library on Wednesday, July 1 at 6 p.m. George Balanchine was one of the most influential ballet choreographers of the 20th century. His “Midsummer Night’s Dream” was performed during NYC Ballet’s SPAC debut in 1966. 

Hochman was a professional ballet dancer with the Philadelphia Ballet where she performed many of Balanchine’s masterworks. In 2007, Connie began a series of in-depth interviews with former Balanchine dancers to explore the phenomenon of Balanchine’s classroom. Their remembrances of his unorthodox methods and transformative teaching form the basis of “In Balanchine’s Classroom.”
