Rebecca Kelly Ballet

Based in New York City and the upstate Adirondack Mountains, Rebecca Kelly Ballet brings to the stage a repertory full of stylish, broad ranging works including topical and environmental themes, narratives, a distillation of the classics, as well as abstract and edgy designs.

The company is compact in size by conventional ballet standards. Perhaps that is why each performance is so personal. Kelly brings out the absolute essence of each of her dancers with nuance and skill.
