Let's Dance
“2018's best actors transform ordinary acts into moments of grace and beauty.”
Synopsis
Justin Peck, the New York City Ballet's resident choreographer, created a series of dances for 2018's best actors. The scenarios put everyday characters in familiar situations: packed into a subway car, stuck in a doctor's office, caught in downpour. But once they start moving, the actors turn our common experiences into welcome moments of enchantment.
