The School of American Ballet’s (SAB) 2015 Winter Ball took place last Monday at the Lincoln Center David H.

Van Cleef & Arpels sponsored the black-tie event for the eighth year in a row, which included a cocktail, dinner, performance by a students choreographed by New York City Ballet dancer Peter Walker, dessert, and more dancing. “Peter Walker’s choreography was wonderful and our student dancers delivered his work beautifully,” said SAB’s Artistic Director and Chairman of Faculty, Peter Martins.
