The Metal Ballerina is New York City’s Classically Trained Rebel. A solo project of New Bridges Ballet, Artistic Director Claire Christine Sargenti exploded into the City’s art scene by blending classical and contemporary ballet with the sounds of New York’s underground rockers, screamers and heavy metal bands. The Metal Ballerina’s unmistakable iconic look of pointe shoes, fishnets, vegan leather and metal can be seen in the grungiest of bars, high end fashion magazines, burlesque halls, music videos and celebrated art galleries throughout the City.
