History
In 1995, at the invitation of Aspen Ballet Company and School founder Bebe Schweppe, Joffrey dancers Jean-Philippe Malaty and Tom Mossbrucker moved from New York City to embark on a vision of creating a professional dance company based in Aspen.
At the beginning of the new millennium the company began a co-venture with a presenting organization in Santa Fe and now perform under the name Aspen Santa Fe Ballet.
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet made its New York City debut at The Joyce Theater and has performed at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. In 2004 ASFB made its international debut in Canada and France.
