NYC Ballet's Ashley Bouder on George Balanchine's SERENADE

Principal Dancer Ashley Bouder talks about why dancing Serenade is amazing for both the corps and the principals, and why Balanchine's first ballet in America is still relevant today.

My absolute favorite Balanchine ballet and it truly is a masterpiece.

At 2:05 when she jumps and turns backwards and hangs in the air for half a moment and then lands in his arms, facing the opposite direction from where she started her jump.......I have showed that to people and they gasp.

Just to finish Ashley Bouder's thought - "...only his first ballet..." Only his first ballet - in America.
