BalletNext…. “blurring the lines between classical and contemporary ballet” Now in its fourth year BALLETNEXT continues to make news in the dance world for its exquisite dance and creative choreography. In talking about the company and the world of ballet Ms. Wiles said “There is a change happening in the dance world that we haven’t experienced in a long time. It’s like we’re all being awakened to something else.” That something else has resulted in a brilliant partnership of dancers, choreographers and musicians. The company performs with live music, which offers an added dimension to all of its programs. Michele Wiles, former Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre from 2005-2011, founded BALLETNEXT in 2011 and is its Artistic Director. As an international ballerina, Ms. Wiles has performed the classical ballet repertory throughout the world. She has graced the Kaatsbaan stage in several of its Galas.
