BBT Thanks Giselle Guest Artist Sponsors
Boca Ballet Theatre is counting the days until our production of Giselle on April 22 and 23, 2023! With its ethereal dancing and heartfelt story, Giselle is one of the most beloved ballets of all time. We can’t wait to welcome principal guest artists Oksana Maslova and Sterling Baca of Philadelphia Ballet back to Boca for what is sure to be a magical performance!
We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to Eric & Olga Jorgensen for sponsoring Oksana’s performance and Liz Dudley for sponsoring Sterling’s performance.
Eric & Olga Jorgensen present Oksana Maslova
We’re excited to have Philadelphia Ballet principal dancer Oksana Maslova dancing the role of Giselle. Before joining the Philadelphia Ballet, Oksana was a member of Suziriya Dance Theater. In 2004, she became a member of the Odessa National Opera House, where she rose to the rank of soloist and performed a variety of principal roles. In 2008, she joined Grand Rapids Ballet as a principal dancer, performing their entire classical repertoire. She joined the Connecticut Ballet Company as a principal dancer in June 2011 and then joined the Philadelphia Ballet as a soloist for their 2014/2015 Season. In 2016, Oksana was promoted to principal dancer and has continued to perform a mixed repertoire of classical, modern, and full-length works.
Liz Dudley presents Sterling Baca
Principal dancer Sterling Baca will star opposite Oksana as Albrecht. As a young dancer, Sterling attended numerous summer programs at American Ballet Theatre, where he received a full scholarship to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School. He danced with American Ballet Theatre from 2010 to 2016 and was promoted through their ranks. In 2016, he appeared on the cover of Dance magazine for their “25 to Watch” issue. Sterling eventually joined Pennsylvania Ballet as a principal dancer for the 2016/2017 season and has appeared in principal roles in a varied repertoire. Boca Ballet Theatre’s audience will remember Sterling as Romeo in our 2019 production of Romeo & Juliet.
