Founded in 1978 by Artistic Director Diana Byer, and now led by Artistic Director Steve Melendez, New York Theatre Ballet has featured cutting-edge programming and an ever-expanding repertory. With the modern sensibilities of both established and up-and-coming choreographers, the company has brought fresh insight to classic revivals.  Still going strong after 40 years, NYTB with its diverse repertory has explored the past while boldly taking risks on the future with acclaimed programs incluing NYTB with REP, the Once Upon a Ballet series, the NYTB/Ballet School and the LIFT Community Services Program.
