History

Princeton University Ballet, founded by Virginia Byron '10 and Elizabeth Rosen '10 in 2008, is the only ballet company on Princeton’s campus. PUB is student-run by graduate and undergraduate students and presents one show each semester as well as outreach guest performances. We provide a supportive space for all of our dancers to choreograph and develop as artists, and we welcome guest choreographers of all backgrounds to create original works on the company. Our diverse repertoire includes modern, contemporary ballet, and classical ballet pieces. We provide a space for dancers to continue their ballet dancing and pride ourselves on our exploration of the cutting edge of contemporary-ballet. We also commit ourselves to sharing the art form not only Princeton’s campus, but to the surrounding community.
Some guest choreographers we have invited include Durante Verzola, Gabrielle Lamb, Jennifer Archibald, Christopher Fleming, and Susan Jaffe.
