Joy Womack Biography
Principal ballerina at the Kremlin Ballet Theatre in Moscow, she was previously the first American to enroll in the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet Academy full-time as a student and become Prima Ballerina for the company upon graduation. She also hosts a YouTube channel with vlogs and tutorials and is CEO of Project Prima.
She traveled all across the United States to take summer courses offered by the best Russian ballet academies. When she was 15 years old, her instructors noticed that she had a lot of talent and offered her a position at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow.
She wanted to go to Russia to study ballet as she considers American ballet to be the grandchild of the more traditional and therefore superior ballet. That is also why she chose to remain in Moscow and join another Russian ballet after the Bolshoi Ballet scandal.
She has six brothers and two sisters, who all still live in Texas. She had to learn Russian immediately upon arrival, as the classes at Bolshoi are taught exclusively in Russian.
She was trained at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, like Diana Vishneva, who some argue is the best ballerina of all time.
Joy Annabelle Womack (born April 20, 1994) is an American ballet dancer. She is the second American after Anastasia Stevens to graduate from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy’s main training program, and the second American woman to sign a contract with the Bolshoi Ballet. She was a principal dancer with the Universal Ballet and Kremlin Ballet, and is currently an artist at the Boston Ballet.
Though ethnically Russian, Womack was born in Beverly Hills, California and raised in California and Texas, one of nine children. She trained at the Kirov Academy of Ballet before attending the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in 2009 after Academy teachers noticed her at that year’s summer intensive. She was fifteen years old at the time.
In 2012, Womack was awarded the Grand Prix Award at one of the 13 Youth America Grand Prix semi-finals.
In 2013, she was awarded the Asian Grand Prix Award at the Asian Grand Prix in Hong Kong.
In November 2013, Womack announced in an interview with Izvestia that she was leaving the Bolshoi Ballet, which she claimed was fraught with corruption. During the interview, she made allegations of extortion from an unnamed director in exchange for a solo part in a performance in September of that year. Although some dancers, such as Alexander Petukhov, denied the allegations stating, “…If she knows something, let her name those people. Why smear the theater like that?” Others, such as Natalia Vyskubeno, supported Womack’s account. Womack herself described this time as “…like breaking up with your first love.”
In 2014, at the age of 19, she became a principal dancer of the Kremlin Ballet Theatre of Moscow. She left the company in 2017. In 2018, she was a principal dancer with the Universal Ballet in Seoul, South Korea. Womack also guest performed in Sofia National Opera and Ballet, Kracow Opera and Ballet & The Russian State Ballet. She joined the Boston Ballet as an artist in 2019.
