Early life and training
Hyltin was born in Amarillo, Texas. She wanted to be a figure skater, and would train before school started. However, Hyltin's mother also enrolled her to ballet classes. When she was 12, she auditioned for School of American Ballet, but was rejected. She was ultimately accepted by SAB's summer program in 2000, and stayed in New York as a full-time student.[2][1]
Career
Hyltin became an apprentice with New York City Ballet in 2002, and became a member of the corps de ballet the following year. She was named soloist in 2006 and principal dancer the following year. Her repertoire included classical roles such as Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty and the Sylph in La Sylphide, George Balanchine's works such as "Rubies" from Jewels, Western Symphony and Theme and Variations, and Jerome Robbins works including Afternoon of a Faun and The Four Seasons. She also originated a number of roles including Jean-Pierre Frohlich's Varied Trio (in four) and Justin Peck's Pulcinella Variations.[1]
Hyltin was featured in documentary Ballet 422, which follows the creation of Peck’s Paz de la Jolla.[3]
Hyltin received the Janice Levin Dancer Award in 2005-06, which was given to promising corps dancers of NYCB.[4]
Hyltin was a teaching fellow at School of American Ballet between 2014 and 2016. She became a permanent faculty in 2016.[5]
She defended Peter Martins, then Ballet Master in Chief of the New York City Ballet, when he was accused of physical and sexual abuse.[6]
Hyltin retired in December 2022 after performing the Sugarplum Fairy in the George Balanchine version of The Nutcracker.[7]
