Like a calming spirit embracing the energy of pre-performance jitters, George Balanchine’s voice fills the dark backstage footage that opens Connie Hochman's In Balanchine’s Classroom. This is the beginning of a one-and-a-half hour journey through the history, the thoughts, and – as the title suggests – the classroom of a man who changed the landscape of ballet in the United States.
