ICedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, inkampani ye-avant-garde yaseNew York esekwe kwaye yaxhaswa ngemali nguWalmart heiress uNancy Walton Laurie, iyavala emva kweminyaka elishumi e-Chelsea, i Umjongi ufundile ngokukodwa. Inkampani, eqhutywa ngumlawuli wezobugcisa u-Alexandra Damiani, uxelele abasebenzi ngale mvakwemini, ummeli wenkampani uqinisekisile.
Iindaba zibuhlungu kwi-ballet yaseMelika yangoku kwaye kutsha nje kuthotho lwezithintelo zomdaniso kwesi sixeko; inkampani yayinabambalwa, ukuba bakho, oontanga e-U.S. Ngapha koko, indawo yokugcina izinto yaseCedar Lake iphantse yahlangana nezinye iinkampani ze-ballet.
Umthombo osondeleyo kule nkampani uthe imicimbi yezemali inegalelo kwisigqibo.
UNks Laurie wayenamagama anobubele kubadanisi awayebaqeshile kodwa akavumanga ukunika izimvo zokuba kutheni ekhethwe ngoku ukuvala inkampani awayeyalusa ngaphezulu kweminyaka elishumi.
Saseka inkampani yaseCedar Lake Dance ngo-2003 ukwenza ikhaya labadanisi kunye nabadlali bemidlalo yeqonga abagqwesileyo kwihlabathi ukubonisa iitalente zabo ezingaqhelekanga, uxelele Umjongi nge-imeyile. Ukusebenza ne-CLDC kule minyaka ibililungelo elingathethekiyo nelilungelo kwaye ngeli xesha sibuhlungu ngokuvalwa kwayo, sinebhongo kakhulu ngempumelelo yabo enkulu kule minyaka idlulileyo.
Isigqibo sishiya abadanisi abali-16 kunye nenqanaba eliqikelelweyo kunye nabasebenzi abamalunga nabantu abali-10 ngaphandle kwemisebenzi. Ikwaphakamisa imibuzo malunga nekamva leenyawo ezili-16,000 zesikwere sendawo eyakhiwe ngokwesiqhelo kwisitalato esikude sasentshona yama-26 uNks. Ipropathi yaseChelsea ibambe indawo yemidlalo yeqonga, indawo yokuziqhelanisa kunye neeofisi.
UNks. Laurie, umtshana womsunguli weWalmart uSam Walton, uchithe i-11 lezigidi zeedola kwizakhiwo eziku-537-547 West 26th Street ngo-2004. yenziwe kwimemori yamva nje eNew York: qala inkampani yomdaniso ehlawule abadanisi bayo umvuzo osisigxina, ukusuka ekuqaleni. UNks uLaurie uchithe izigidi zakhe kwisithethe se-ballet abaxhamli beenkulungwane zangaphambili.
Abadanisi eCedar Lake babenezinto ezininzi kwihlabathi lomdaniso ababenokuziphupha nje, njengokukhathalela amazinyo. Kwaye ngaphezulu kwento yokuba uNks. Laurie udale imisebenzi kwicandelo lokuhlaba umkhosi ngokusisigxina, bekukho ukuzibophelela kwakhe kwinkampani. 
ICedar Lake iyasebenza.
Kodwa bekukho ukungavisisani, kwangethuba kwangoko. Kwakukho impikiswano yezabasebenzi, inani lotyeshelo kwiqela, kwaye, kungekudala emva koko, amalungu enkampani angaphambili agxeka abaphathi. Kwakukho umbono wokuba ngenxa yokuba yayiyiprojekthi yokuthanda wena buqu, iCedar Lake yayingeyiyo inkampani enzulu.
Kwaye iCedar Lake ayiqhutywa ngokungafaniyo kwiWalmart. (Ezi ntsiba zidlakadlaka kwihlabathi le-ballet, apho iinkqubo zisangqinelana namasiko eenkundla zasebukhosini zenkulungwane ye-17 yeFrance.) Umzekelo, INew York Times uxele ukuba iCedar Lake ihlawulise abadanisi ngeempazamo eqongeni-isenzo esingaqhelekanga kakhulu.
Ukuvalwa kweCedar Lake kulandela elinye ixesha lesiphithiphithi emva kokurhoxa kukaMnu. Pouffer; UNks Damiani wabizwa endaweni yakhe ngo-Epreli 2014 emva kokuba inkampani ichithe phantse unyaka ngaphandle komlawuli wezobugcisa.
Ukuvalwa kushiya umngxunya othile kunye nelishwa kwindawo yomdaniso waseNew York. Intsimi ye-ballet yangoku ikubonile ukutshintsha kwayo ukuya eYurophu kule minyaka idlulileyo, ngelixa iinkampani zeballet zaseNew York ziye zahlengahlengisa imisebenzi ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1700 ukuya kowe-1980, okanye ezo zalungiswa ngomgaqo othile. ICedar Lake incedise ukuthoba ibhalansi ukuya kulingo.
Ezinye iinkampani zaseNew York ziye zasokola kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo. I-Dance Theatre yaseHarlem ivaliwe ngo-2004, uMerce Cunningham wayeka ukusebenza ngo-2011 kunye noMdaniso wase-New Amsterdam, umbutho owawubonelela ngestudiyo nendawo yemidlalo yokudanisa, evaliwe ngo-2013.
