PBT is thrilled to announce that well-known ballet teacher, coach and former American Ballet Theatre soloist, Kristine Elliott is returning to Peninsula Ballet to teach all levels of ballet in our Summer Dance Intensive. Before beginning her dance career with the Stuttgart Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, Ms. Elliott was trained by the founders of Peninsula Ballet Theatre – Richard Gibson and modern dancer Richard Ford. Gibson trained Ms. Elliott and other serious ballet dancers, many of whom went on to professional dance careers.
“Bringing Ms. Elliott back for this summer intensive at Peninsula Ballet is the type of full circle that exemplifies the traditions of professional ballet”, said Christine Leslie, PBT’s President and CEO. “Ballet has always relied on gifted artists handing down their skills, artistic insights and traditions to new generations of aspiring artists. Kristine brings her significant experience, her talent and her passion to our program. PBT is very fortunate is to have her return and offer this special opportunity for our students. It is the perfect was to celebrate our 47th year as a Peninsula arts institution.”
Peninsula Ballet Theatre is making positives changes and Kristine Elliott is proof of our dedication and growth as a performing arts organization.
