✨ So proud to announce the success of our Premiere Division Ballet graduate, Emily Abrom! ✨

After 4 years of close training at PDB under Nadège Hottier, Emily continued her professional journey, joining the Mariinsky Theatre Primorsky Stage before becoming the first American dancer hired to join the Novosibirsk State Opera and Ballet Theatre in Russia.
During her career in Russia, Emily performed numerous soloist roles in productions including Mikhail Messerer’s Cinderella, Coppélia, Swan Lake, Nacho Duato’s The Sleeping Beauty, Roland Petit’s Notre Dame de Paris, and Balanchine’s Jewels and Theme and Variations. She also performed on the Kirov and Bolshoi stages and toured internationally across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, dancing in 11 countries.

Today, Emily begins a new chapter as a Ballet teacher at Master Ballet Academy in Washington, one of the leading ballet academies in the United States, joining their new location dedicated to the Advanced/Pre-Professional Division, Intermediate Division, and Teen Academy.

I am incredibly proud of Emily and all she has accomplished. Congratulations, Emily! Wishing you continued success in this beautiful ballet journey.
Nadège Hottier
