Dominic Antonucci
Born in Athens, Ohio, and brought up in Akron,
Dominic Antonucci, Ballet Master, attended the Nan
Klinger School of Dance and the School of American
Ballet. He performed with American Ballet Theatre
from 1991 to 1994, joined Birmingham Royal Ballet
in 1994 as a Soloist and was promoted to Principal in
2003. Dominic proved himself a hugely versatile
performer over the years, comfortably dancing the
leads in classics such as The Nutcracker, Coppélia and
The Sleeping Beauty, as well as more dramatic parts
like the Robert Helpmann role in Dante Sonata and
Mortimer in Edward II. His strong masculine
presence was seen to great effect as the Gypsy Lover
in The Two Pigeons and Uther Pendragon in Arthur,
whilst his comic gifts were evident as Petruchio in
The Shakespeare Suite and as Captain Belaye in
Pineapple Poll. Dominic has been a prominent
contributor to the Department for Learning’s work
and has a wide experience of teaching and mentoring
young people. He taught and rehearsed the dancers
of the National Ballet of Japan in Ashton’s Cinderella.
He was appointed BalletMaster in 2009.
