CITY BALLET SCHOOL
The City Ballet School of San Diego was established by internationally known ballet artists, Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich in 1992. It has grown to become San Diego’s premiere ballet school with a world-wide reputation.
Students are taught the essence of several classical styles which creates a versatility and well roundedness not to be underestimated.
Each student is carefully evaluated to make sure they are physically ready for the technical demands of the level they have been placed. Preventing injuries while training is of the utmost importance to the school. Flexibility, strength, and stamina increase gradually as the student progresses from level to level.
The school’s strong curriculum gives the students the tools and skills they will need to meet the demands required in today’s dance world.
CITY BALLET OF SAN DIEGO
Since 1993, City Ballet of San Diego has thrived under the artistic direction of Steven Wistrich, the choreography of Elizabeth Wistrich, and general management of Jo Anne Emery. These three individuals have guided City Ballet and together have achieved a high level of artistic competence and success.
We at City Ballet of San Diego commit ourselves to the same high standards for performances, artistic achievement and ballet education as other renowned ballet companies throughout the world. And as the major presenter of George Balanchine ballet in Southern California we now have 19 of his ballets in our repertoire.
City Ballet’s education programs reach over 10,000 school children annually offering in-theater performances and all-school assemblies. All of City Ballet’s education programs such as our “Discover a Dancer” program, an in-depth residency program for at risk youth, are funded in part by generous donations to City Ballet’s Education Fund.
I am a freelance photographer, and videographer, as well as a professional dancer and artistic director. In 2018 I founded The Rosin Box Project, San Diego's premier contemporary ballet company, and currently act as Artistic Director, Dance Artist, and Director of Photography.
Let's connect and create something together. Whether it is portraits, branding, a wedding, a memory, a project for fun, or the hell of it, something that moves, something that's moving, your idea, my idea, or part of a bigger picture. I want to make it, and I'd love to create it with you.
