 Nikolaj Hübbe
New York City Ballet
Nikolaj Hübbe was born in Copenhagen in 1967. He began
his dance training at age ten at the Royal Danish Ballet School.
In 1986 he was awarded the silver medal in the Paris Ballet Competition,
as well as the French Critics Prize. In 1987 he won first prize
in the Eurovision Ballet Competition.
Mr. Hübbe joined the New York City Ballet in July of
1992 as a Principal Dancer. He made his debut with the company
during its annual season in Saratoga Spring, N.Y. His first performance
was in Balanchine's Donizetti Variations, a work which exhibits
much of the clarity and purity associated with the Bournonville
style in which Mr. Hübbe was trained. He has also performed
in leading roles of Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Peter Martins
and David Allan, who created roles for him.
