GUEST ARTISTS
Whitney Huell and Stephen King of Ballet West II as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier in The Nutcracker.
Over the years, EBT productions have featured many acclaimed national and international guest performers. Not only do our audiences enjoy the gift of their performances, but sharing the stage with these consumate artists is always an unforgettable experience for our dancers. Students watch from the wings, learn, and get inspired! In addition, Meet the Artist sessions allow EBT students the exclusive opportunity to ask the guest performers questions in an intimate setting. Our aspiring dancers learn firsthand what makes a great artist and individual – both on the stage and off.
