February 8th, 2013

The School of Ballet Arizona has a new scholarship for young male dancers, in honor of famed dancer and former pupil of the school, David Hallberg.

Hallberg is currently a Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre in New York City, as well as a Premiere Dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow. Hallberg said in a statement that he hopes the scholarship will foster more passion for dancing.

“It is never easy to have the courage or the means to find your calling in ballet as a young boy,” he said.
