ABOUT THE SERIES
I worked as a series director for photography and field producer for all six episodes of this Disney+ original documentary series following a year inside the School of American Ballet, founded by legendary choreographer George Balanchine.
The series follows younger dancers in the high pressure lead up to the Nutcracker, where they perform alongside the New York City Ballet company at Lincoln Center. It also embeds with the elite teenage students as they vie for spots at the nation’s top ballet companies, pursuing a lifelong dream that demands unbelievable athletic and artistic training with no guarantees.
