WORKING TOGETHER THESE DIVISIONS REACH ADULTS AND FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY BUILDING A LOVE FOR BALLET AND CREATING AUDIENCES FOR THE FUTURE. FOUNDED IN 1978, NYTB IS WIDELY SEEN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES HAVING TOURED FROM COAST TO COAST AND INTERNATIONALLY FOR OVER 40 YEARS. IT OFTEN INTRODUCES AUDIENCES FOR THE FIRST TIME TO BALLETS CREATED BY GREAT MASTERS, AS WELL AS TO ITS WILDLY POPULAR 1-HOUR STORY BALLETS. NYTB BRINGS COMMUNITIES TOGETHER WITH MASTER CLASSES, LECTURES, TALK-BACKS AND MEET & GREETS. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, LOCAL CHILDREN ARE ASKED TO APPEAR WITH THE COMPANY. ITS ROSTER INCLUDES DANCES BY FREDERICK ASHTON, AGNES DE MILLE, JOSE LIMON, ANTONY TUDOR, MERCE CUNNINGHAM, AND RICHARD ALSTON. ITS PERFORMANCES PROVIDE AN INTIMATE, LIVE BALLET EXPERIENCE FOR ALL AUDIENCES. LEGENDS & VISIONARIES THE NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED LEGENDS & VISIONARIES SERIES FEATURES RESTORATIONS AND REVIVALS OF MASTERWORKS WITH IMPECCABLE FIDELITY TO ORIGINAL MOVEMENTS AND GESTURES AS WELL AS TO AUTHENTIC SETS, COSTUMES AND PROPS AS DOCUMENTED BY HISTORICAL RECORDS. CELEBRATED DANCERS WHO HAVE PERFORMED THESE MASTERWORKS WITH OTHER COMPANIES ARE INVITED TO WORK WITH THE COMPANY TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF THE BALLETS' INTEGRITY ON NYTB'S STAGE. AS A COUNTERPOINT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF HISTORICALLY ACCLAIMED BALLETS, EXCITING CONTEMPORARY WORKS BY EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS ARE SHOWCASED. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, NYTB INVITES CHOREOGRAPHERS TO CREATE NEW WORKS FOR THE COMPANY. AUDIENCES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN Q&A'S WITH THE DANCERS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS AFTER THE PERFORMANCES. THE RESULT IS AN ILLUMINATING UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE ART OF BALLET IS EVOLVING. ONCE UPON A BALLETNYTB IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING AN APPRECIATION OF BALLET AMONG PRESCHOOL AND GRADE SCHOOL YOUNGSTERS. IN ADDITION TO PERFORMING FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THE COMPANY REACHES OUT TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE LIMITED EXPOSURE TO THE PERFORMING ARTS - AND TO DANCE IN PARTICULAR - DUE TO SEVERE REDUCTIONS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION ARTS FUNDING. ONCE UPON A BALLET FILLS THIS SERIOUS VACUUM. IT IS A FULL SEASON OF TIME-SHORTENED MINIATURES OF CLASSIC STORY BALLETS, PERFECTLY SUITED FOR THE SHORT ATTENTION SPAN OF YOUNG VIEWERS 3-8 YEARS OF AGE. CLASSICS SUCH AS CINDERELLA AND THE NUTCRACKER CAPTURE THE IMAGINATIONS OF YOUNGSTERS FOR WHOM BALLET IS A NEW FORM OF STORY-TELLING. THIS PROGRAM AWAKENS YOUNG MINDS, NOURISHES THE SPIRIT OF AUDIENCES YOUNG AND OLD, AND SERVES TO ENCOURAGE THE LOVE OF BALLET AMONG FUTURE AUDIENCES. TO WIDEN THE REACH OF THIS IMPORTANT INITIATIVE, NYTB SOLICITS PRIVATE FUNDING TO ENSURE ATTENDANCE BY CHILDREN LIVING IN UNDER-SERVED NEIGHBORHOODS. 73181 SEE SCHEDULE O - LIFT PROGRAMNYTB'S UNIQUE LIFT COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM PROVIDES TUITION-FREE BALLET CLASSES FOR AT-RISK AND DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN, AND HAS TRANSFORMED THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN. LIFT STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN CLASSES WITH NON-SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS. THE CLASSES ARE ONLY A BEGINNING. LIFT GIVES THE CHILDREN SUSTAINED ATTENTION IN A STABLE, CARING ENVIRONMENT. IT INCREASES THEIR SELF-ESTEEM AND TEACHES THEM WHAT IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE A GOAL USING THE DISCIPLINE OF BALLET AS A TOOL. IT LEADS THEM TO DISCOVER THAT WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS FOCUS, DISCIPLINE AND HOW HARD THEY WORK, NOT WHERE THEY COME FROM.LIFT ALUMNI INCLUDE A WORLD-CLASS DANCER WHO HAS PERFORMED AROUND THE GLOBE, YOUNGSTERS WHO HAVE DANCED IN BILLY ELLIOT AND SOUTH PACIFIC ON BROADWAY, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE MADE IT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND ALL THE WAY TO GRADUATE SCHOOL. 642821 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 34 0 1 27 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NY X X THE ORGANIZATION 2126790401 131 EAST 10TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10003 JACKIE KARCESKI CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHY LONGINOTTI VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JONATHAN LEVINE TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KELCY COFFIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA GOLDEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL LEON-RIVERA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLA MARZOVILLA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JUSTIN ORLANDO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA PEACOCK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLINE ZHAO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHYAMALA NAVADA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN MELENDEZ ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 49231 0 0 SOPHIE BLUE MANAGING DIRECTOR 40.00 X 58654 0 0 107885 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11926 128755 518850 659531 PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS 611600 179096 179096 PERFORMANCE ADMISSIONS 611600 70502 70502 CONSULTING INCOME 611600 7750 7750 257348 445 445 6813 11926 6813 0 23567 0 23567 23567 SERVICE FEE INCOME 900099 30280 30280 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 5181 5181 35461 976352 280915 0 35906 144385 108596 9150 26639 219824 185945 33879 49842 40371 5982 3489 17000 17000 10 10 67877 57877 10000 22347 22347 34761 30563 664 3534 34841 34841 39944 39344 600 5083 5083 13943 11294 1673 976 5378 4356 646 376 THEATRE RENTAL 33121 33121 TUITION 29383 29383 0 COMMISSIONS 25451 25451 PRODUCTION COSTS 19332 19332 18651 16007 2644 781173 642821 100694 37658 2507 71552 52084 74142 8080 76745 400 29597 10794 15666 530504 459376 62829 71128 33641 34394 170335 373224 71239 59991 30000 48124 36764 119363 126755 X 41972 113469 9000 133000 50972 246469 170335 373224 195179 318 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 355631 597847 471640 548290 659531 2632939 44246 153281 323876 271721 280915 1074039 399877 751128 795516 820011 940446 3706978 30153 91018 62807 82199 37000 303177 17000 18048 69260 55055 71404 230767 47153 109066 132067 137254 108404 533944 3173034 278 300 374 413 445 1810 278 300 374 413 445 1810 43533 46186 38942 38517 35461 202639 443688 797614 834832 858941 976352 3911427 0.81120 0.77200 0.00050 0.00050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 530504 459376 71128 71128 CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE 30962 DUE TO BALLET SCHOOL NY 5802 36764 976660 318 318 976342 10 10 976352 781163 0 781163 10 10 781173 18739 11926 6813 6813 18739 11926 6813 6813 6813 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE ORGANIZATION HAS ITS FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM AND HAS ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING REVIEW PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION REPORTED IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE.
