Ballet Academy East is honored to house the David Howard Memorial Library, a collection of books bequeathed to BAE by the beloved dance icon, David Howard. Mr. Howard was one of the most highly respected and sought after ballet teachers in the world. His student roster included countless professional dancers from New York City Ballet, Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and beyond. Every Summer Intensive David Howard graced BAE with his presence. Our hope is that this beautiful library enables our students and faculty to continue to feel David Howard’s remarkable presence at BAE.
