Montgomery Ballet is proud to share that Patric Palkens will be joining us as an instructor during the first week of our Summer Intensive Program, July 11th-15th, 2016.

Palkens has trained and performed with Orlando Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Ballet Chicago, and Escuela de Ballet del Teatro Municipal de Santiago, Chile.

As a principal dancer with Orlando Ballet, Palkens performed in many world premiere’s by Director Robert Hill. After joining Cincinnati Ballet in 2011, Palkens quickly rose through the ranks to Soloist in 2012. Following a last-minute stand-in—and wildly successful—performance as Romeo in 12-13’s Romeo & Juliet, Palkens was promoted to Senior Soloist.

Palkens has participated in the International Ballet Competition in Beijing, China, as well as the Vienna International Ballet Competition. Where he competed with top dancers from around the world. Palkens returns to Cincinnati Ballet as a Principal after a year in Europe with the Landes Theater of Salzburg, Austria.
