Tiler Peck

Principal Dancer with New York City Ballet since 2009, Tiler Peck stands among America's most versatile and celebrated ballerinas. Her artistic journey spans from Broadway—debuting at age 11 in The Music Man and later starring in the Tony-nominated On The Town—to creating the title role in Susan Stroman's Little Dancer, which recently had a sold out one-night only performance at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in the UK.

Since her 2018 choreographic debut at the Vail Dance Festival, Peck has created works for major ballet companies including Boston Ballet, Northern Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet and BalletX. Most recently, she choreographed her first ballet for New York City Ballet, Concerto for Two Pianos, which was met with rave reviews and an encore performance at their annual gala. Tiler has been asked to choreograph a second work for New York City Ballet, premiering spring of 2026. Her choreography extends to television (Tiny Pretty Things, Ray Donovan) and film (John Wick 3).

 Peck’s curatorial vision was showcased as she directed the inaugural Artists at the Center for New York City Center, which evolved into the acclaimed Turn it Out with Tiler Peck & Friends earning an Oliver Award nomination and 2 National UK Dance Awards. She has collaborated with musical luminaries Hilary Hahn, Yuja Wang, and more through the New York Philharmonic's 4-part Nightcap series and made television history as the first ballerina to guest star on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Currently, she appears in Amazon Prime's series Étoile.

Her documentary presence includes Hulu's Ballet Now, chronicling her groundbreaking role as the first woman to curate The Los Angeles Music Center's BalletNOW. Her most recent documentary Tiler Peck: Suspending Time aired November 7 and can be seen on PBS Great Performances. Her achievements have earned her the Princess Grace Statue Award, The Dance Magazine Award, and recognition on Forbes' 30 Under 30.

During the pandemic, Peck launched #TurnItOutWithTiler, free Instagram ballet classes that united dancers worldwide. Beyond performance, she created the Love,Tiler collection for Só Dança and authored children's books including the Katarina Ballerina series, with XO Ballerina Big Sis forthcoming from Penguin Random House in October 2025.

Through her multifaceted career, Tiler Peck continues to redefine what a 21st-century ballerina can achieve—as performer, choreographer, curator, author, and actress.
