A discussion exploring how we define and understand the dance landscape from contemporary dance to classical ballet, with Garrett Anderson, Executive Director and Artistic Director of Ballet Idaho.

Garrett received training from some of the country’s premier academies and danced with The San Francisco Ballet, Royal Ballet of Flanders, Trey McIntyre Project, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Over the course of a 20-year professional career in both classical ballet and contemporary dance companies, he worked with some of the world’s most celebrated choreographers and directors. After his full-time performing career, Garrett became Chair of the Dance Dept. at New Mexico School for the Arts in Santa Fe, then moved to Boise, where he has served as Artistic Director of Ballet Idaho since 2018.
