ISABELLA MARIA TORRES

A former principal dancer of American Ballet Theatre, Maxim Beloserkovsky received his dance training at the Kiev Ballet Institute. In 1990 he danced as a leading soloist with the National Opera of Bulgaria where he remained for one year. From 1991 to 1994, he was a principal dancer with the National Opera Ballet of the Ukraine, and toured with them to numerous countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Egypt, Japan, Mexico, Canada and the U.S. He performed most of the major roles in the classical repertory: the Prince and Bluebird in The Sleeping Beauty; Prince Siegfried and the Pas de Trois in Swan Lake; Albrecht in Giselle; Ferhad in Legend of Love; and the Pas de Deux from Le Corsaire, Don Quixote and La Sylphide.

Equally confident in both classical and contemporary works, Mr. Beloserkovsky brings graceful dignity and elegance to his many roles. His repertoire with ABT includes Basilio and Espada in Don Quixote; Prince Desirè and Bluebird in The Sleeping Beauty; Siegfried in Swan Lake; Romeo in Romeo and Juliet; Albrecht in Giselle; Jean de Brienne in Raymonda, Oberon in The Dream; the lead in Theme and Variations; Conrad and Lankendem in Le Corsaire; Camille in The Merry Widow; Colas in La Fille mal Gardée; Lensky in Onegin; Misgir in The Snow Maiden; James in La Sylphide; Franz in Coppelia; the Cavalier in The Nutcracker; Aminta in Sylvia; and the Prince in Cinderella. He has also danced leading roles in The Leaves are Fading, Lilac Garden, Dim Lustre, Bruüch Violin Concerto, Mozartiana, Symphony in C, Symphonic Variations, Les Sylphides, Etudes, Apollo, Pas des Déesses, La Bayadère (Act II), and Variations for Four, as well as Sylvia Pas de Deux, Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux and Paquita. His athleticism and style have also earned him leading roles in important contemporary works: Twyla Tharp's Push Comes to Shove, The Elements and The Brahams-Haydn Variations; Nacho Duato's Without Words and Remanso; Natalie Weir's Hereafter; Mark Morris's Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes; Jiri Kylian's Sinfonietta; John Neumeier's Spring and Fall; Christian Spuck's Le Grand Pas de Deux; Stanton Welch's Clear; Peter Quanz's Kaleidoscope; Martha Graham's Diversion of Angels; and Jerome Robbins's Afternoon of a Faun. In the spring of 2012, Maxim retired from the ABT stage and became a faculty member of Ballet Academy East where he employed his extensive knowledge and experience to teach ballet to the next generation. In 2015 he also became a guest teacher for ABT's Studio Company.
