American Ballet Theatre

Home base of one of the world’s preeminent classical ballet companies, near Union Square. Visitors describe the theater as beautiful and clean—a "total dream"—with amazing staff, and one first-timer fell completely in love. Week-long spring camps invite 2nd and 3rd graders from all five boroughs, with registration through a school sign-up. Onstage, a performance of Swan Lake was electrifying, with dancers executing stunning precision and breathtaking artistry.
