Dance at the Cinema: Jewels

Presented by the Bolshoi Ballet.
This opulent triptych was inspired by choreographer George Balanchine’s visit to the famous jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels on New York’s Fifth Avenue, and celebrates the cities and dance schools of Paris, New York, and St. Petersburg, each bound to its own precious stone: emerald, ruby, and diamond.

Balanchine built an homage of captivating beauty to the three dance schools that had forged his style, each represented by a contrasting gemstone. Jewels offers a unique occasion to enjoy the genius of choreographer’s visually captivating work performed by some of the world’s most dazzling dancers in a live broadcast to cinemas.
