The Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University (CBA) is an international research institute that brings together scholars and artists from various disciplines to explore ballet and its related arts and sciences. Through its fellowship program, CBA provides residencies to individuals interested in expanding the understanding of dance history, practice, and performance. With a focus on inspiring new ideas and new dances, CBA aims to redefine the art form in the 21st century.
Ballet, as an art form, encompasses more than just dance. It is a system of training that connects to philosophy, mathematics, manners, religion, painting, fashion, and even the practices of war and sport. Originating in the Renaissance, ballet has evolved into a global practice that influences and incorporates various dance traditions and styles. CBA, located on the NYU campus near Washington Square Park, offers opportunities for public engagement with dance through events and programs that showcase the work and ideas emerging from the institute.
