Question: Who wrote the ballet, "Romeo and Juliet" which is regularly performed by the Joffrey Ballet?
Context: Robert Schumann’s “Davidsbündlertänze” is one of the last major works made by New York City Ballet's founding choreographer and balletmaster-in-chief George Balanchine.  It is set to Robert Schumann's "Davidsbündlertänze" ("Dances of the League of David"), Op. 6 (1837).  The idea for setting this piano work very likely came from a work created by Robert Joffrey for his own Joffrey Ballet Company, the premier of which took place at the City Center Theater in the late 1970s.  Joffrey, in turn, received his inspiration from Jonathan Watts, a protege of Joffrey's and director of the Joffrey apprentice company, who, at the suggestion of pianist Neil Stannard (yours truly), created a ballet titled "Evening Dialogues" to this same score.  This initial version of the Schumann cycle was featured on tour with the Joffrey second company in the mid 1970a. Romeo and Juliet is ballet created by John Cranko to Sergei Prokofiev's eponymous score for the Stuttgart Ballet in 1962 and first seen in America in 1969.  The Joffrey Ballet presented the first American production of Cranko's choreography in its 1984–1985 season, including performances in New York City at the New York State Theater and in Washington, D.C. at the Kennedy Center. The Joffrey Ballet is a professional dance company resident in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  The company regularly performs both classical ballets, including "Romeo & Juliet" and "The Nutcracker", and modern dance pieces.  Many choreographers have worked with the Joffrey including Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, George Balanchine, and founders Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey.  Founded as a touring company in 1956, it was based in New York City until 1995 when it moved to Chicago.  The company's headquarters and dance academy are in Joffrey Tower, and it performs its September–May season at the Auditorium Theatre. Matthew Prescott, born and raised in Idaho, is a "danseur" performing with the Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company.

He has also worked with Donald Byrd's Spectrum Dance Theater, Alonzo King's LINES Ballet and Complexions Contemporary Ballet; in 2005 he joined the Suzanne Farrell Ballet. Romeo and Juliet (Russian: Ромео и Джульетта ), Op. 64, is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev based on William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet".  Prokofiev reused music from the ballet in three suites for orchestra and a solo piano work. Rory Hohenstein is a "danseur" with the Joffrey Ballet.  Born in Washington, DC, he began his training at the Kirov Academy of Ballet.  Before finishing high school, he joined Le Jeune Ballet de France in Paris where completed his studies.

In 2008 Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company and toured with the company to Sadler's Wells and the Sydney Festival.  Hohenstein freelanced in 2010 with the Lar Lubovitch Dance and M & Company before joining the Joffrey in 2011. David Howard (born David Charles Edwards) (14 June 1937 – 11 August 2013) was an English ballet dancer and teacher, who taught internationally at institutions such as the Royal Ballet, the American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, and the National Ballet of Canada.  Howard opened his popular eponymous dance studio in New York City, the David Howard School of Ballet (later the David Howard Dance Center) in 1977, before its closure in 1995.  His dance center welcomed all students including children, adult beginners and professionals from the Broadway musicals and ballet.  In addition to his teaching, Howard was an expert on the history of the pointe shoe worn by ballet dancers, and a pioneer in their design. Dennis Wayne's Dancers was a New York based contemporary ballet company founded around dancer Dennis Wayne by Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.  Formed in the summer of 1975 after Wayne left the American Ballet Theatre, the contemporary ballet company drew on the talents of many famous dancers and received critical acclaim.  The dancers came from a variety of different companies, including Joffrey Ballet and American Ballet Theatre.  Known for their virtuosic skill, the company performed both ballet and modern dance works.  Dennis Wayne’s Dancers presented diverse programs with pieces by a variety of choreographers; though he also presented work he choreographed himself.  Dennis Wayne also danced with the Company, but did not begin appearing with them until 1986. Holly Hynes is an accomplished costume designer with over 250 ballets to her credit, including more than 70 at the New York City Ballet.

The Joffrey Tower is a high-rise commercial real estate development on the northeast corner of North State Street and East Randolph Street in the Loop community area of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, United States that is the permanent home of the Joffrey Ballet.  It is located immediately south of the Chicago Theatre and directly across the street from Macy's largest Chicago (and its second largest overall) department store on State Street, within the Loop Retail Historic District.  Its address had once been the site of the Chicago Masonic Temple.  The placement of the Joffrey Ballet in this building appears to have involved political dealings with the Mayor of Chicago, Richard M. Daley and his brother, William M. Daley, a co-chairman of the Joffrey board of trustees.  The building was scheduled for completion in December 2007, but was not finished until September 12, 2008.
