About Me

Barry Kerollis: Philadelphia, PA, United States; It is every dancers dream to land a job in one of America's top dance companies. I did that twice, staying with one company for 7 seasons. I spent years successfully pushing forward to get the opportunity to perform featured and leading roles within the company. In 2011, I chose to exit the luxurious world of a major ballet company to enter the small concert dance scene. After less than a year in this new lifestyle, unforeseen circumstances thrust me out into the world of dance on my own with no company to call home. My name is Barry Kerollis and I am a freelance dancer (http://barrykerollis.com/)
