About NYIBC
NYIBC Mission NYIBCs mission is to discover the world's finest young ballet dancers, ages 17 to 24, provide them with an extraordinary educational, mentoring and cultural experience; advance their careers by producing performances in New York City; and promote international understanding and goodwill.
What Sets Us Apart NYIBC is a three-week artistic education, professional training and performance program for forty- eight talented young dancers from countries around the world all of whom receive full scholarships to participate. NYIBC nurtures promising dancers providing them with an unparalleled career advancement opportunity and enabling them to completely focus on training to perform at their highest artistic level. The repertory performed by NYIBC participants is announced upon the arrival of the dancers in New York. Unlike any other international ballet competition, the classical pas de deux and the modern/contemporary duet are the core of the repertory that NYIBC participants learn and perform. The repertory is taught by world-renowned coaches, masters of their profession. In teaching the repertory, they pass their artistry to the younger artist; they pass on their secrets of the art of partnering. The opportunity to learn such outstanding repertory from such extraordinary artists provides the dancers with professional training and artistic education they could not receive elsewhere. NYIBCs unique format in the ballet world provides its participants with a fair level playing field, and distinguishes it from all other ballet competitions.
How We Do What We Do The first two weeks are devoted to taking classes and the teaching and coaching of the repertory. Learning classical and contemporary masterpieces in such a short time period, and performing them in New York City, provides the dancers with a real-life experience of what it means to work in a first-class ballet company. NYIBC participants live and work together during their three-week stay in New York. This gives them the opportunity to see whats happening technically around the world and learn from each other in a highly collaborative atmosphere. When they come to NYIBC, they must bring a strong technical base with them. The judges and the audience look for the artistry that goes with it.
How We Do What We Do The performance rounds take place during the third week of NYIBC in the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The participants perform for the public and the illustrious panel of judges. NYIBC participants have to be fast, accurate, concentrated, exact and immersed during the period they learn the repertory and while they are being coached so that when they get to perform onstage, they have the intensity and the artistry that captivates the audience and the jury. Although participants apply as couples, they are judged on an individual basis. All participants perform exclusively with the partner with whom they apply. All dancers invited to participate in NYIBC must compete. Eliminations are made after each round. Dancers must participate in all rounds unless both partners are eliminated and, if chosen, perform in the Gala Performance. The opportunity to perform and be discovered exists for all participants.

What We Bring To Our Audiences Audiences delight in the unique format of the performances whereby the dancers perform the same choreographic version of the pas de deux and contemporary duet chosen for each progressive round. They learn to differentiate and appreciate the artistic and cultural nuances every dancer brings to each piece. NYIBC is an eye-opening look at the spectrum of interpretations and technical abilities that a single ballet can call forth. Balletomanes and theatergoers alike also experience the dancers personal artistry and unique qualities when they perform their solos, which showcase each dancers strengths such as musicality, craftsmanship and technical control to engage the audience and jury to connect with them as individual artists.
What We Bring To Our Audiences The jury, comprised of leading artistic figures from different countries, awards Gold, Silver and Bronze medals accompanied by monetary prizes. In addition, the jury gives awards for special artistic achievements. The Igor Youskevitch Award (a one-year contract with American Ballet Theatre) and the Arpino Award (a one-year contract with The Joffrey Ballet) are awarded at the discretion of each of these companies Artistic Directors. In addition to having access to the professional ballet world stage in New York City, and receiving contracts, medals, awards and cash prizes, during their time at NYIBC the dancers form a versatile international company in which lifelong associations are born. NYIBC now has a network of 480 alumni.
Record of Excellence NYIBC is committed to excellence with a clear vision and a passion for nurturing international young talent. NYIBC is a bridge for young gifted dancers to advance their careers and it provides access to the international professional ballet world like no other international ballet competition: by focusing on teaching and coaching repertory, the art of the pas de deux, providing dancers with a learning process, and passing the artistry from the mature artist to the young artist. NYIBC attracts hiring artistic directors and choreographers who are confident that a dancer who has been mentored and trained at NYIBC can endure the rhythm of work and life in a premier ballet company.
