Carla Körbes Photo Special
Of course we're not going to forget all the Carla Körbes fans out there. After her successful run in "Broadway Suite", there are plenty new fans who have joined those who have admired her for longer.
Here are some pictures of her in last night's Swan Lake.
Carla Körbes was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and began her ballet training at age five with local teachers. At age eleven, she began studying at Ballet Vera Bublitz. In 1996, Peter Boal danced with her as a guest artist of the school and encouraged her to come to New York to study at the School of American Ballet. For academic year 1997–1998, her tuition was paid by Alexandra Danilova so that she could continue studying at the School of American Ballet. In 1999, she was the Mae. L. Wien Award recipient and was made an apprentice with New York City Ballet. She joined the company as a member of the corps de ballet in 2000 and was the Janice Levin Dancer Honoree for 2001–2002. She was promoted to soloist in 2005 and later that year joined Pacific Northwest Ballet as a Soloist. Ms. Körbes was promoted to principal dancer in 2006.
In 2002, Ms. Körbes performed Richard Tanner's Ancient Airs and Dances for the nationally televised PBS Live from Lincoln Center broadcast, "New York City Ballet's Diamond Project: Ten Years of New Choreography."
In addition to her performances with New York City Ballet and Pacific Northwest Ballet, Ms. Körbes has performed with Peter Boal and Company. In 2007 she performed in the worldwide company debut performance of Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company. She also performed as a guest artist on the Vail International Dance Festival's "International Evenings of Dance" galas.
