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