MICHAEL LEVINE

danced with The Joffrey Ballet from 1993 to 1995, and returned to The Joffrey
Ballet of Chicago in September 1997, after dancing with American Ballet Theater for two
years.

Included in Levine’s featured roles with The
Joffrey Ballet are The Young Soldier in Kurt Jooss’ anti-war classic THE GREEN TABLE,
the Brown trio in Jiri Kylian’s emotionally moving RETURN TO A STRANGE LAND, Mehmet
Sanders’ modernistic INNER SPACE, and most recently the charmingly sweet Pink Boy
from Vicente Nebreda’s NUESTROS VALSES.

Among his American Ballet Theater repertory are Kevin McKenzie’s
TRANSCENDENTAL ETUDES, Lar Lubovich’s A BRAHMS SYMPHONY and OTHELLO, James Kudelka’s CRUEL
WORLD, Agnes de Mille’s RODEO; and roles in GISELLE, ROMEO & JULIET, LA BAYADERE, SWAN
LAKE, DON QUIXOTE and THE MERRY WIDOW.

Levine began his professional studies with Ron Cunningham at the
Sacramento Ballet, and continued his studies as a scholarship student at the San Francisco
Ballet School. While studying at the San Francisco Ballet School, he performed in Company
productions of THE NUTCRACKER and LA FILLE MAL GARDEE.

Levine’s most recent appearances as a guest artist include
Ballet Met’s restaging of ROMEO & JULIET, and Romeo in Connecticut Ballet’s
production of ROMEO & JULIET.
