Cynthia Gregory

Ms. Gregory, the only American ballerina so highly esteemed by Rudolf Nureyev that he called her “America’s prima ballerina assoluta,” has performed in hundreds of ballets, principally with American Ballet Theatre, and had over a dozen works created specifically for her. Her Odette-Odile defined for generations those roles in Swan Lake. Her outstanding achievements throughout a brilliant and extensive dance career have garnered her numerous prestigious awards. In 1991, she became Chairman of the Board of the non-profit organization Career Transition for Dancers at a time when she herself was transitioning from on-stage to next stage. Now as Chair Emerita, Ms. Gregory remains deeply committed to the invaluable work of assisting dancers facing imminent career change by providing career counseling, scholarships, and other vital services.
Continuing to share her artistry and extensive repertoire with dance companies and audiences worldwide, Ms. Gregory stages classical ballets as well as coaches and conducts master classes. She brings dance to life in other avenues as well. Her books, *Ballet is the Best Exercise* and *Cynthia Gregory Dances Swan Lake*, are both well-regarded and widely distributed. Her pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings, inspired by her own best-loved dance roles, have been shown in galleries and commercially via posters and CD covers. For more details, see her biography on the web.
