Premiering Monday, November 4 on AOL On Come backstage to a world rarely seen — from the orderly chaos of the shoe room to the sweat of the rehearsal halls to the pre-performance anticipation in the wings. We're proud to announce the premiere of city.ballet. on Monday, November 4. Hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker, this 12-part behind-the-scenes docudrama http://on.aol.ca/show/cityballet-517887470/episode/517995636 city.ballet. executive producer and NYCB board member Sarah Jessica Parker:  We’re looking to photograph an intellectual and physical endeavor, and I think that’s a different animal than reality television, which is about grabbing a story quickly and creating drama in an attempt to be provocative and create chatter. Sarah Jessica Parker visits NYCB's shoe room. view video > NYCB Principal Dancer Jared Angle:  As a dancer, at first, I didn’t want anyone to see behind the scenes. But I realized that I consume everything that I can find about performers and the process and the behind-the-scenes work of other art forms. It doesn’t ruin the magic of being in the theater for me when I know what happens behind the scenes. It actually enhances it.
