city.ballet. Gets a Second Season

November 28, 2001
Most long-running dance shows—”So You Think You Can Dance,” “Dance Moms”—are high on drama. AOL On’s city.ballet., though, didn’t need shock value to get viewers to tune in. That’s one reason I’m excited to report that Sarah Jessica Parker’s project is getting a second season. The web series proves that the everyday lives of New York City Ballet dancers are fascinating enough to get all of us—dancers and non-dancers alike—to binge through a whole season in one sitting.

My hopes for Season 2? I would love to see longer episodes, so we can really dive deep into the topic at hand. Andy maybe now that we’ve gotten over all the introductory “a ballet company has these rankings” information, we can get a closer look at the physical and mental work it takes to prepare for specific ballets, or hear more about what separates NYCB from other presitigous companies—specifically, its Balanchine roots.

AOL hasn’t yet announced a premiere date for the next season. But you can catch Season 1 here.
