From the Bolshoi to the world stage, Joy Womack has redefined what it means to be a ballerina.

A trailblazer in the ballet world, Joy was the first American to graduate from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and sign a contract with the Bolshoi Ballet. Her career has taken her to leading roles in world-renowned companies, including the Kremlin Ballet Theatre, Universal Ballet, and Boston Ballet, and the Paris Opera Ballet. She has performed principal roles across Europe, Asia, and North and South America, gaining recognition for her technical precision, artistry, and relentless dedication to the craft.

Now, through the Joy Womack Ballet Foundation(JWBF), she is bringing her wealth of experience to the next generation of dancers.
