New York City Ballet, one of the nation’s most prestigious dance companies, announced on Friday that it was withdrawing from a six-day stand at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the latest major performing arts organization to cancel a high-profile engagement at the besieged center.

City Ballet announced its decision in an email to its dancers on Friday afternoon. The “Dear Dancers” note, which was signed by the company’s executive director, artistic director and associate artistic director, was terse and offered no explanation for the decision, though it encouraged members of the company to reach out if they had questions.

“We are writing to let you know that the Company will not perform in Washington, D.C., the week of June 1 as previously scheduled,” the email said. “We will now rehearse in New York that week”

Rob Daniels, a spokesman for the ballet company, declined to elaborate on the decision but said in a statement that City Ballet “appreciates the support of its longtime audiences in Washington, D.C., and looks forward to returning there in the future.”

Representatives for the Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The decision is the latest blow for the Kennedy Center, which has seen waves of performance cancellations, audience boycotts and staff upheaval, including a major round of layoffs that began this week.

New York City Ballet was late to the parade of cancellations that have followed as Mr. Trump has increasingly wielded influence over the center during his second term.
