Ballet Austin artistic director Lambrou has stuck to his guns about what he believes the quality of ballet should be in this city, and he's securing those standards by presenting and finding funding for challenging ballet choreography, and breeding ballerinas in the Ballet Austin Academy. Lambrou has broken the sickly ballerina mold by including in his company dancers of all shapes and sizes who are highly trained and expressive... and he pays them! What's more, he's taking Austin dance to the world, transporting the ballet to Cyprus in September, where they'll be the only American company to perform at the Festival Cypria.
