In 1956, Ballet teacher Robert Joffrey and choreographer Gerald Arpino formed a six-dancer ensemble that toured the country performing original ballets during a time when most touring companies performed mere reduced versions of ballet classics. The ensemble's first performance in a major city as the "Joffrey Ballet" occurred in Chicago in 1957. Although the Joffrey was originally established in New York and then at the Los Angeles Music Center (1982-1992), they would return to Chicago in 1995 and make it their permanent home.
