Superman's Super Show

November 28, 2001

Senior editor Jenny Stahl recently called New York City Ballet principal Daniel Ulbricht “Superman,” and I can’t think of a better way to describe the phenomenally talented dancer and teacher, who seems to be everywhere at once these days. (We recently posted a poll asking who your favorite dancer-teacher was, and Ulbricht cleaned up.)

Now Ulbricht can add humanitarian to his already impressive resume: He and Erin Fogarty are producing “Dance Against Cancer,” a benefit for The American Cancer Society, which will take place at Manhattan Movement and Arts Center this Monday, April 25. And you’d be hard-pressed to dream up a better program. Wendy Whelan and Craig Hall performing the gorgeous pas de deux from Christopher Wheeldon’s “After the Rain”? Check. A ballet by golden-boy choreographer Benjamin Millepied? Check. Crazy-awesome contemporary troupe Keigwin + Company? Check. “So You Think You Can Dance” phenomenon Alex Wong? Check. A slew of other NYCB principals, including Janie Taylor, Tyler Angle, Robert Fairchild, Sterling Hyltin, Amar Ramasar, Maria Kowroski and, yes, Ulbricht himself? Check, check, check.
