Rebecca Krohn (born 1981/1982)[1] is an American retired ballet dancer. She danced with the New York City Ballet as a principal dancer until her retirement in 2017, then became a ballet master and served as one of the interim leaders between late 2017 and early 2019.
Early life
Krohn was born and raised in Vestal, New York.[2][3] She started ballet at age four after seeing The Nutcracker.[4] Starting from age 10, she attended summer programs at the Chautauqua Ballet, which was run by Patricia McBride and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux.[2] In 1995, when Krohn was 14, encouraged by McBride and Bonnefoux, she entered the School of American Ballet in New York City.[2][5]
Career
In 1998, at age 17, Krohn became an apprentice with the New York City Ballet. Krohn joined the corps de ballet the following year,[2][5] and appeared in the 2000 Center Stage as a background dancer.[6] She became a soloist in 2006,[5] danced in the film version of Robbins' N.Y. Export: Op. Jazz in 2010,[7] and was promoted to principal dancer in 2012.[5] She learned Balanchine repertory from ballet masters who worked with him, and had worked with choreographers such as Justin Peck and Benjamin Millepied.[2] On October 7, 2017, Krohn retired from performing after a performance of in Balanchine's Stravinsky Violin Concerto, for which she danced the Aria I role.[8]
Following her retirement, she remains in the company as a ballet master, a move inspired by her mentors, especially Karin von Aroldingen.[2] In December, following ballet master in chief Peter Martins's departure due to sexual assault allegations, Krohn was appointed to be in the four-person interim leadership team, led by ballet master Jonathan Stafford and also consists of Justin Peck and Craig Hall.[9] The team brought back other Balanchine veterans to coach the dancers, and Krohn also worked with them as she had never worked with Balanchine himself.[10] In February 2019, a permanent management with Stafford as Artistic Director and Wendy Whelan as Associate Artistic Director respectively was established.[11]
Personal life
In 2011, Krohn married Adam Hendrickson, a fellow New York City Ballet dancer.[1]
