Ballet

Directed by Frederick Wiseman

With Julio Bocca, Alessandra Ferri, Susan Jaffe, Amanda McKerrow and Agnes de Mille

An exploration of the inner workings of the New York City-based American Ballet Theatre, one of the most prestigious ballet schools in the world. All facets are explored, from dancers Julio Bocca, Alessandra Ferri and Susan Jaffe in their relentless rehearsals to the managers and businesspeople who keep it running. The dancers' lives outside are represented as well, as they balance the strict demands of professional ballet with their personal lives.
