Stephanie Saland is currently a guest instructor at the City of Angels Ballet. During a 21-year career with the New York City Ballet, Stephanie Saland was showcased in leading roles under George Balanchine’s direction, as well as principal roles in Jerome Robbins’ repertoire. Guest performances included Nureyev and Friends, Giselle with Alexander Gudonov and numerous Live From Lincoln Center film productions. Since 1993 Ms. Saland has been a freelance instructor based in Seattle and travels to teach in the US, Canada, South America and Europe.
Stephanie drew from the myriad riches for education in New York: from teachers such as Stanley Williams, Maggie Black, and her colleague Gelsey Kirkland. She was and is equally inspired and informed through other non-ballet modalities and now offers a class that is synthesis and creative response to the valuable aspects of these systems.
