ABT II, under the direction of Wes Chapman, is an elite classical dance company of 13 young dancers of outstanding potential. Hailed by The New York Times as "One of the great dance success stories in recent years . . ." ABT II prepares young dancers to enter American Ballet Theatre as well as other professional ballet companies. ABT II’s varied repertoire mirrors the traditions of ABT, featuring classical ballet and contemporary works by new and established choreographers. Now in its fifteenth season, ABT II brings the excitement and energy of this burgeoning professional company to theaters throughout the country.
ABT II is presented in Key West by Paradise Ballet Theatre Presenters, producer of Nutcracker Key West. These ABT II performances are fundraisers to benefit the return of Nutcracker Key West in 2010.
