These travel dates were chosen to coincide with the annual Benois de la Danse ballet competition, which was founded by the International Dance Association in Moscow in 1991 and recognizes, with monetary awards, exceptional events that occured during the previous year on stages around the world. In addition to attending evening performances of the Benois Competition, the Opera and the Kirov Ballet, travelers will also tour these two cities by day, visiting the Mariinsky Theatre, the Vaganova Children’s Ballet School, the Hermitage, Yusupov Palace, Peterhof Palace, and the Kremlin grounds and Armoury, as well as many other beautiful historic sites.

Comments from fellow travelers on a few of our previous trips:

The Joyce Theater trip to Indochina was the perfect combination of urban chaos, rural beauty, wonderful waterways, heartbreaking history, peaceful people and spiritual awakening. Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia's rich stories were conveyed superbly by Joyce Trustee Richard Ablon and an excellent collection of local guides. It was our third superlative Joyce trip. Heartfelt Thanks.
Liz and Bob Musiker

"The Joyce Cuba trip was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had from the standpoint of where we went, what we learned and what we saw. It was phenomenal. And traveling with The Joyce is wonderful!"
Jeff and Paula Gaynor

"It was a trip that will stay with me for a lifetime. Traveling with The Joyce was especially wonderful as we were exposed to Cubans and Cuban dance in a way which otherwise would not have been possible."
