Jillian, originally from Delaware,  joined Ballet Arizona in 2007, Nayon, originally from Brazil, joined in 2012. George Balanchine’s iconic Rubies was the first ballet the now husband and wife danced in together on stage! Since then, they have performed lead roles in Romeo & Juliet, La Sylphide, Napoli, and George Balanchine’s Theme and Variations and La Sonnambula. Want to hear more from them?
