Tiler Peck
Tiler Peck was born in Bakersfield, California where she began her dance training at the age of two at her mom's dance studio. At the age of 14, she entered the School of American Ballet, the official school of New York City Ballet, full time.
The same year, she became an apprentice with the New York City Ballet and in a few short months was asked to join the Company as a member of the corps de ballet. Tiler was promoted to Soloist in 2006 and to Principal Dancer in 2009 where she remains to this day.
Regarded as a "dance luminary" (The Washington Post), "pure joy in toe shoes" (The Los Angeles Times) and "the ballerina who can stop time (and re-start it too)" (The New York Times), Tiler Peck is widely recognized as one of the top American Ballerinas of our time. A Principal Dancer with the New York City Ballet, an actress, choreographer, author and designer, Tiler continues to evolve as an artist and add to her extensive repertoire. She added the title of curator when she launched and starred in the Los Angeles Music Center’s presentation of BalletNOW, a part of the Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center program. Tiler was the subject of the Hulu feature documentary, Ballet Now from Paul Allen’s Vulcan Productions with executive producer, Elisabeth Moss and director, Steven Cantor. She also had the honor of choreographing the box office smash action movie, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
