NYC Ballet's Teresa Reichlen on George Balanchine's SYMPHONY IN C

Principal dancer Teresa Reichlen talks about how class technique translates to the stage in Balanchine’s iconic Symphony in C, and how she developed a new level of trust in her partner while dancing the 2nd movement ballerina role.

Is that Jared Angle, or Tyler Angler?

[@neelycrombie1263]

I know me either...

[@noblesetsentimentales]

Tyler.

[@takenoprisoners837]

This ballet is certainly one of the most beautiful. Threw my eyes George Balanchine was beyond amazing. His visions are so stunning and inspiring.

[@robertbloom1637]

[@lynneux]

Reichlen is so gorgeous, and such a phenomenal dancer. Her legs seem to go on for miles! I love Sara Mearns in the principal role here, too. Can't wait to see this!

It is exciting to witness the confidence & trust in Theresa's adagio. Her relaxed tone reflects this too as she explains.

[@JohnColapinto]

As eloquent verbally as she is physically. Rare combination.

[@AnnabellaEdeL]

This ballet will live forever!!!

I saw Symphony in C in 1976 It was one of Suzanne Farrell first performances when she returned to NYCB also Sara Leland who was from our Boston area . I sat in nearly the last row. I was moved to tears at the extraordinary talent beauty etc.

I saw this in the 70s during Mr. Bs peak, it was tremendous, always a standing O, I rememeber thinking how fabulous the dancers were, just wanted to be able to get on stage on stage and do it myself. NYC Ballet is one of the tops

[@marysheeran519]

I usually don't like the dancers talking through the music, but this is beautifully done. I'm sharing it with my friends.

[@eurekamreum5458]

[@eliothahn7983]

You don't lose anything if you watch too much ballet related clips more than those deal mainly with words.

[@giogamez94]

Tessa´s turn out made me cry

[@lec47]

Because it's so good?

[@Antonia-eb3xx]

Why are they lifting their heels in Demi plié? I was taught that is so unhealthy for your tendons (Russian technique)

[@arianna9454]

Isn't it like super bad to lift your heels in a plie? At least in classic training

[@barbaralee8363]

I watch Mariinsky and it's like an entirely different art form, and not in a good way.

[@kathymyers7279]

Agree. And it was so slow!
