The San Francisco Ballet said that it had made “emergency contingency plans” that could result in the cancellation of a planned New York tour, including performances at Lincoln Center, if the union representing its dancers does not meet a deadline for accepting what the ballet called its “last, best and final offer.” The contract between the ballet and its dancers expired on June 30, and talks have turned heated. The dancers said in a statement that they are seeking “provisions that demonstrate a sufficient level of respect” and “protections against bullying by the artistic staff,” while the ballet said in its own statement that its most recent contract with its dancers made them “among the most highly compensated professional dancers in the country.”
