We can’t take bus trips right now but, thanks to the internet, we can explore the world from the comfort of our homes. Every Wednesday, we’re presenting a series of links to cultural institutions in Chicago and beyond. Today visit the Joffrey Ballet.

The Joffrey is a world-class, Chicago-based ballet company and dance education organization committed to artistic excellence and innovation, presenting a unique repertoire encompassing masterpieces of the past and cutting-edge works.

Learn how a small, traveling ensemble transformed into one of the premier dance companies in the world today in this 2012 documentary from PBS American Masters, directed by Bob Hercules and narrated by Mandy Patinkin.
