World Ballet Day 2015

It’s day #2 of the second annual World Ballet Day, and that means live streaming of rehearsals, classes, and interviews with dancers and artistic staff of England’s Royal Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada, the San Francisco Ballet, and Russia’s Bolshoi Ballet (the Australian Ballet streamed on September 30). Don’t worry if you miss the live events — they are available for viewing later. In addition to the live streaming, there are pre-recorded sequences from several other ballet troupes including American Ballet Theatre, the Boston Ballet, Houston Ballet, Hamburg Ballet, and many more. In honor of World Ballet Day, we found the best of ballet on Instagram.
