As we come to the end of Pride Month, we want to pay tribute to a member of our community who made way for a more inclusive world in ballet and beyond. A legend, a light, a trailblazer—✨Leopold Allen✨, ABT’s first resident Hair and Makeup Supervisor, was a fixture in the Company for over 10 years, working closely with many ABT icons including Susan Jaffe, Alessandra Ferri, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. An artist of the highest caliber, Leopold always filled the room with laughter and made everyone in his chair feel ready to take the stage. In 1989, Leopold sadly lost his life to AIDS. This summer season, ABT is paying homage to Leopold @MetOpera with a special exhibit. Check out the two exhibit cases in the Richard Tucker Case in the North TV Lounge and the Chevron Texaco Gallery in the South TV Lounge. 📷: Paul B. Goode, and Pierre Petitjean. #ABT #AmericanBalletTheatre

Happy Pride Month from ABT 🏳️‍🌈 Taking this moment to celebrate our dancers and our pride! ABT will be hosting a Pride Night on Wednesday June 26 with an evening performance of @studiowaynemcgregor ’s WOOLF WORKS and a silent disco after @LincolnCenter . We hope to see you there! “I have always been so moved by the love stories that are the foundation of so many classical ballets. These stories of romance fueled my dreams of girlhood to become a dancer at a company like ABT. As I grow into my career and into myself as a queer woman, I hope to see more stories on stage that reflect more and different models of togetherness.” –ABT corps de ballet member @remyyounggg #AmericanBalletTheatre #ABT #ABTMet24
