Join us for Intermediate/Advanced Ballet with Adam Sterr on Saturdays! Adam Sterr began his dance training in his hometown of Green Bay, WI, easily recognized as the cultural center of the United States. He holds a degree in dance from Butler University. He has performed professionally with the Richmond Ballet and later with the Milwaukee Ballet. As a freelance artist, choreographer and musician he has performed across the United States in regional productions and as a part of numerous arts festivals, fringe festivals and even circus cabarets. For two years Adam was a part of the artistic staff at Portland Ballet. He has taught on faculty at American Repertory Ballet’s Princeton Ballet School and, prior to the pandemic, as a part of the Milwaukee Ballet School and Academy. Seeking a bit more professional stability, he now owns and operates his own coffee micro-roasting company in Milwaukee and enjoys staying curious and working on music whenever possible.
