Classical Ballet School

Eglevsky Ballet, Long Island's premier ballet company and academy, presents its annual production of the holiday classic, 'The Nutcracker' starring New York City Ballet soloist Miriam Miller as the 'Sugar Plum Fairy' and New York City Ballet principal Tyler Angle as the 'Cavalier'.

Celebrated conductor David Bernard has joined the artistic staff of Eglevsky Ballet as the company's first music director since the appointment of Maurice Brandon Curry as Executive Artistic Director in 2015. This historic moment in the company's history is an extraordinary development, as Eglevsky Ballet returns to having live music for their performances.

It has been reported that young actor and ballet star, Jack Burns, has passed away suddenly at age fourteen.

This Monday, February 11 marks the 50th Anniversary – to the day – when, in response to the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the lack of opportunities for people of color to train and perform classical ballet, former New York City Ballet dancer Arthur Mitchell – the first black dancer to be elevated to Principal – created, along with Karel Shook, the Dance Theatre of Harlem. Originally conceived and opened as a classical ballet school for the children in his Harlem neighborhood in 1969, Mr. Mitchell soon formed a performance company drawing from the students trained in the school. Led by his passion and determination, the DTH School and Company thrive today and we celebrate their vision and legacy for a classical ballet company for all.
