Daniel Ulbricht returns to Boca Raton with Stars of American Ballet
On January 7, 2024, Boca Ballet Theatre will welcome back New York City Ballet principal dancer and longtime guest artist Daniel Ulbricht for Elizabeth H. Dudley presents Stars of American Ballet, a one-night-only special performance featuring Ulbricht and his elite “Stars of American Ballet” tour group. In this article, we spotlight Ulbricht’s career and his long-standing relationship with BBT. You can also learn more about the “Stars of American Ballet” performance below!
Daniel Ulbricht was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and began his dance training with Lenny Holmes at the Judith Lee Johnson Studio of Dance. At the age of sixteen, he was invited by the School of American Ballet to continue his training during their 1999 Winter Program. A year later, he became an apprentice with New York City Ballet before joining the Company as a member of the corps de ballet in 2001. In 2005, Ulbricht was promoted to the rank of soloist. He attained the rank of principal dancer in May 2007, dancing featured roles in a number of Balanchine, Robbins, Martins, and Wheeldon ballets.
During his career, Ulbricht has danced Boca Ballet Theatre as a guest artist many times, beginning with his performance as Fritz in The Nutcracker! Audiences of our 2011 production of La Bayadere will remember Ulbricht’s incredible performance as the Golden Idol. Since founding Stars of American Ballet, he has brought his elite group of dancers to perform in Boca four times! We can’t wait to welcome him back on January 7, 2024, for Elizabeth H. Dudley presents Stars of American Ballet!
