These concert series often feature major repertory works in addition to world premieres created for the Dance Division by noted choreographers, many of whom are Juilliard alumni. The 1998-99 season featured Lar Lubovitch's Marimba , David Parsons' Reflections of Four , Colin Connor's Flaws in the Grass , and a revival of Lila York's enormously successful Rapture , which was created for Juilliard and is now in the repertories of eight major ballet companies both here and abroad. Works by Jiri Kylian, Hans van Manen, and Reginald Yates, among others, are planned. On the basis of capacity and achievement, students audition or are assigned to participate in several performances throughout the year. Each year there are fully staged public dance concerts, monthly workshop performances, and special projects.
Students also tour local schools and perform in area hospitals and community centers.
Fully staged performances feature standard repertory and commissioned works by both recognized and emerging choreographers in a wide range of styles. Workshop performances are presented either on stage or in the studio, with programming selected from advanced classes, student choreography, and studies prepared in composition, notation, and other classes. In addition, Juilliard may host dance companies from across the United States and other countries who participate in discussions and informal workshops with students during their visits.
