JOHNSON GUO*
*Johnson Guo is a Ballet Tech Alumnus, and a member of the Limón Dance Company.
**First performed December 27, 1942 at the Humphrey-Weidman Studio Theater, New York City, by José Limón. The Chaconne as a dance form originated in New Spain, now Mexico, as a robust and raucous dance. Bach employed the strict musical form of the Chaconne but enriched it with powerful emotional implications. Mr. Limón has tried to capture in his dance both the formal austerity and the profound feeling of the music.
***Johnson Guo was in the first cast of A Yankee Doodle when it premiered in 2015.

ABOUT BALLET TECH FOUNDATION, INC.
MISSION AND ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND
Ballet Tech Foundation is committed to introducing New York City public school children to the beauty, integrity, and joy of dance. Annually, we provide the rigorous dance training necessary to fulfill and nurture students' intrinsic dance talents, tuition free. We develop dancers and leaders of tomorrow by offering young people, who reflect the rich diversity of our city, a world class dance education that encompasses a wide variety of genres of movement and choreography, alongside an academic education in collaboration with the NYC Department of Education.
Since its founding in 1978 by choreographer Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech's programming has reached almost 943,000 children in 668 public elementary schools in NYC for its tuitionfree ballet training program. Of those children, more than 27,000 have been invited to participate in Ballet Tech’s Introduction to Ballet classes. Students with a strong aptitude and enthusiasm for dance are invited to Ballet Tech’s full-time school where the 4th-8th graders receive intensive tuition-free dance training at our studios at 890 Broadway, and since 1996, a strong academic education on site as well by the NYC Department of Education.
BALLET TECH ACROSS NEW YORK ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS
Through Ballet Tech Across New York (BTANY), Ballet Tech offers two new in-school enrichment programs to our partner schools: Dance for EveryBODY introduces students to the various dance techniques taught at Ballet Tech; and BT Ballet Basics introduces students to the basic tenets of ballet. These tuition-free programs, tailored for 2nd and 3rd grade, are intended for students of all abilities. Ballet Tech also provides open auditions at its studios at 890 Broadway throughout the year.
INTRODUCTION TO BALLET
Students participating in the tuition-free Enrichment programs that demonstrate an aptitude and enthusiasm for dance are invited to participate in the Introduction to Ballet program. The Intro students are bused by the NYC Department of Education

from their local elementary schools to BT one morning a week for a 75-minute class for six weeks. Beginning the following fall, qualifying students from the Introduction to Ballet are invited to apply for full-time enrollment at the New York City Public School for Dance.
NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR DANCE: GRADES 4-8
A joint venture with the NYC Department of Education, the NYC Public School for Dance (NYCPSD) provides an onsite academic curriculum integrated with intensive dance training at 890 Broadway. The DOE provides the academic faculty and curriculum; Ballet Tech Foundation provides the intensive dance training, dancewear, and transportation. The NYCPSD follows the public school calendar.
In addition to Ballet Technique, the dance curriculum includes Allegro, Horton, Modern Techniques, Jazz, Contemporary, Pilates, Repertory, Tap, and Composition.
KIDS DANCE
Created in 1994, Kids Dance, BT’s annual season at The Joyce Theater, provides the students with the opportunity to learn choreography, develop performance skills, and learn about stagecraft. In preparation for The Joyce season, students learn ballets created especially for them by dance faculty members and guest artists.
IMPACT
Through the scaffolding approach to learning from the beginning classes to advanced, the five years of rigorous dance training serve as both the bedrock and springboard for the students’ future pursuits, whether in dance or another field. Ballet Tech tracks its graduates through their high school careers and beyond in order to provide support and guidance as alumni grow into their respective career paths.
Ballet Tech is a community consisting of faculty, staff, parents, alumni, and donors. The entire community is united with the goal of ensuring that our students (the heart of our community), develop the values – creativity, discipline, perseverance, confidence, critical thinking, and courage – and skills necessary to become leaders of tomorrow.

ABOUT BALLET TECH FOUNDATION, INC.
BALLET TECH'S COMMISSIONING PROJECT
The Commissioning Project was begun by founder Eliot Feld, who described it as follows:
For aspiring piano students there are Bach’s two and three-part inventions sensibilities. With that model in mind, Ballet Tech has resolved to build a library of new choreography imagined for and designed on emerging dancers. This will be a repertory of original dances, dreamed up and composed by boffo dance makers, for fledgling dancers to hone their skills and whet their imaginations. And, of course, intended to delight the eye and enchant the fancy of audiences of all ages.
Our 2023 additions include Embers Of… (by Men Ca), Ad Lib City (by Robert La Fosse and Brian Reeder), and 1956 (by Dionne Figgins and Curtis Holland).
The library includes works by Dionne Figgins, Men Ca, Michael Snipe, John Heginbotham, Julia Eichten, Brian Brooks, Stephanie Terasaki, Conner Bormann, and Riley O’Flynn, Laura Careless, and Eliot Feld.

WHO'S WHO IN THE COMPANY
ELIOT FELD (Founder of Ballet Tech) was born in Brooklyn, NY and studied dance at the School of American Ballet, New Dance Group, High School of Performing Arts, and with Richard Thomas. At age eleven he danced with the New York City Ballet as the "Child Prince" in Balanchine's original production of The Nutcracker as well as with the companies of Donald McKayle, Pearl Lang, Sophie Maslow, and Mary Anthony. At 16, he joined the Broadway cast of West Side Story and appeared as Baby John in the movie version, and later danced on Broadway in I Can Get It for You Wholesale and Fiddler on the Roof.

with Merce Cunningham, designing such pieces as Ground Level Overlay, Windows, and Biped, for which he also won a Bessie.

He currently is on the faculty at American Ballet Theatre’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School and performs in the New York City Ballet’s annual production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker as Herr Drosselmeier.
JOSÉ LIMÓN (Choreographer) (1908-1972) electrified the world with his dynamic masculine dancing and dramatic choreography. One of the 20th century’s most important and influential dance makers, he spent his entire career pioneering a new art form and fighting for the recognition and establishment of the American Modern Dance. Born in Culiacán, Mexico in 1908, he immigrated to California in 1915, and in 1928 Limón came to New York and saw his first dance program. Limón enrolled in the dance school of Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman and, from 1930 - 1940, performed in works created by his teachers. In 1946, with Doris Humphrey as Artistic Director, Limón formed his own company. Over the following 25 years, he established himself and his company as one of the major forces of 20th century dance. Limón was a key faculty member in The Juilliard School's Dance Division beginning in 1953 and continued choreographing until his death in 1972. Limón choreographed a total of seventy-four works, including The Moor’s Pavane, Missa Brevis, There is a Time, The Traitor, and Psalm.
WHO'S WHO IN THE COMPANY
MEN CA (Choreographer). The bio-kemet-cal essence of Men Ca is in his name: mata is energy from the nucleus of the ca’nscious atam. A practitioner of defining that which he does through that which he is (i.e. Men Ca), his absolute Art and Science is to be conscious at all times in all times. Thus, deepen the life force energy of love and understanding. A third generation Lester Horton educator (educated by the unrivaled Dr. Elana Denise Anderson, who studied from James Truite), Men Ca resourcefully uses the technique as a medium for learners to actualize their Art & Science — Art, the Science of expressing; Science, the Art of knowing — aid their body to further activate the heart and mind. The Artist & Scientist.
BRIAN REEDER (Choreographer)'s performance years existed mainly within the exciting repertories of three major dance companies: New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and William Forsythe’s Ballet Frankfurt. His choreographic career sprung up in the early 2000s with creative commissions coming from national and regional dance companies like ABT, Washington Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Colorado Ballet, as well as universities, colleges, and dance academies alike. He’s also had the opportunity over the years to work outside the dance concert forum with collaborations in movement for music video, independent film, commercial, fashion assignments, and musical theater. Brian has been invited to teach as either an adjunct professor or guest at several prestigious colleges, universities, dance schools, and companies throughout the years, such as Juilliard, Vassar, Brown, Barnard, Princeton, Ballet Hispanico, and Ailey II. Reeder has served as a coordinating director for summer dance programs internationally as well as rehearsal director for Cedar Lake Ballet and acted as resident choreographer for Ballet Next and currently is for Manhattan Youth Ballet. He is presently a part of the teaching faculties at Manhattan Youth Ballet, Eglevsky Ballet, and Ballet Tech.
VERNON ROSS (Costume Designer) began his professional career at Dance Theatre of Harlem in 1981 and worked with the professional dance company until 2004. His work in various areas of production ultimately led to his becoming the company’s wardrobe supervisor in 1991. In this role, he was responsible for overseeing and supervising the costume shop, dying of flesh-tone tights, working with the designers on new and existing productions, coordinating, and organizing all touring logistics, as well as fittings, repairs, cleaning, storage, and cataloging of all costumes.
Throughout his career, Mr. Ross has toured extensively both nationally and internationally. Some of his noted accomplishments are designing costumes for Dance Theatre of Harlem’s school and Summer Intensive performances. From 1991 through 1999, he designed costumes for Dance Institute of Washington, formerly known as Reflections Dance Company. He designed the costumes for DIW’s inaugural Kwanzaa performance, which is still one of the company’s signature productions. He gives continuous gratitude and recognition for having the opportunity to work firsthand with Ms. Zelda Wynn, renowned African American fashion and costume designer who was the first wardrobe supervisor for Dance Theatre of Harlem. Mr. Ross currently works with the American Ballet Theatre as a wardrobe assistant supervisor for the principal and soloist male dancers.

*in memoriam (List as of 5/30/23)
We would like to acknowledge the many public elementary schools located throughout New York City that are our partners. Without their cooperation, our programs would not be possible. We salute and thank you!
Ballet Tech is excited to introduce our new dance enrichment program, Ballet Tech Across New York (BTANY).
This past Spring, we began piloting the BTANY Dance Enrichment Program in elementary schools across NYC. The BTANY program builds upon our previous audition program by providing all participating students with an accessible and engaging dance enrichment class, allowing students of all different skill levels and capabilities to enjoy the beauty and joy of dance. The classes have been so well received by our partner schools, that this coming fall, the Ballet Tech Across New York (BTANY) Dance Enrichment Program will be offered as our primary outreach program for NYC public schools. Students will still be able to audition for Ballet Tech through our Open Audition process, held at Ballet Tech studios throughout the year.
If you or someone you know may be interested in booking the BTANY Dance Enrichment Program, please contact our Co-Administrative Director Janel Rayome at (212)777-7710 ext. 304 or jrayome@ballettech.org.
ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION
The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for over three decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 400 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (K–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 340 performances for audiences in excess of 150,000 patrons. Visit Joyce.org for more information.
FUNDERS
Many Thanks to The Joyce's Institutional Funders for Keeping Us Moving Forward

Velázquez for their visionary leadership that established the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which has helped make the reopening of The Joyce Theater and the reemergence of many dance companies possible.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION
VISION STATEMENT
The Joyce Theater Foundation is committed to fostering and supporting a diverse and inclusive environment, both on and off stage. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms, and value the rich experiences and perspectives that arise from differences in race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and cognitive and physical ability.
We strive to counteract the social injustices and racism that exist within our communities, our nation, and our world. Our aim as an organization is to embody the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. To achieve this, we will:
• Create and implement proactive diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives;
• Establish and maintain a culture of safe sharing, intentional listening, learning, and growth;
• Engage with and support disenfranchised communities by sharing information and resources and ensuring accessibility;
• Develop metrics and conduct regular reviews of our programs and policies to hold ourselves accountable and shift as neededs.
With these goals in place and our Vision Statement in mind, we are dedicated to the continued learning and growth needed to foster an inclusive environment for all. This is an ongoing process and by nature will be an evolving statement.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.
We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.
We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.
It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
