✨ Meet Aria ✨

From classical ballet to contemporary dance, Aria continues to shine with versatility and artistry.

This summer, Aria will be featured in Las Vegas Ballet Company’s Summer Gala Festival, performing a leading role in a new work choreographed by Sabine Nehls, while also taking on classical soloist roles in Le Corsaire and Paquita.

Adding to an already exciting season, Aria recently stepped outside her comfort zone and was awarded an invitation and full scholarship to the Alvin Ailey Experience Summer Intensive in New York City — a remarkable recognition of her talent and potential.

We are incredibly proud of her dedication, hard work, and willingness to embrace new challenges. The future is bright, and we can’t wait to see where her journey takes her!

Congratulations, Aria! ❤️✨

A former Principal Dancer with the prestigious Universal Ballet Company in South Korea, Yoomi Lee went on to enjoy a distinguished 10-year career as a leading artist with Nevada Ballet Theatre. Together with her husband, Kyudong Kwak, she founded the nonprofit Las Vegas Ballet Company (LVBC) with a mission to preserve and share the beauty of classical ballet within the Las Vegas community.

On June 20, LVBC presents its Summer Gala Festival at the Summerlin Performing Arts Center, featuring highlights from beloved classical masterpieces including Paquita, Le Corsaire, Don Quixote, and contemporary works in an exciting gala format.

A particularly anticipated moment of the evening will be the performance of the Swan Lake Pas de Deux by Yoomi Lee and Artistic Director Kyudong Kwak. Though retired from their professional performing careers, the couple returns to the stage to share their artistry once more—a rare and heartfelt performance that promises to inspire audiences and celebrate a lifetime devoted to ballet.
