Atlanta Ballet Says Farewell to Two Dancers at End of the Season

As the company heads into the closing of the 2020-2021 season, Atlanta Ballet says farewell to Jackie Nash and Moisés Martín who will take their bows with the company this spring.

Nash has danced with the company for the last twelve years and will continue her dancing career at Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre.

Her final performances at Atlanta Ballet during the Company’s upcoming Silver Linings programs at Georgia Tech Arts: Skyline Series will be in Claudia Schreier’s Pleaides Dances the weekend of April 30-May 2, and in Dr. Rainbow’s Infinity Mirror by Darian Kane the weekend of May 7-9.

“I have been so lucky to find a company that has allowed me to grow and develop into the artist I am today. To all the patrons of the Atlanta Ballet – I am always blown away by your love and passion for what we do onstage, and I have to thank you for making what we do possible. I am so grateful to all the artists of the company who have inspired me along the way, as well as the amazing staff that has supported me. My experience with the company has been truly rich and I am eternally thankful.”

Dancer wth Atlanta Ballet

Moisés Martín joined Atlanta Ballet in 2017 after being a principal dancer with Compañía Nacional de Danza (Spain), a second soloist with the Dutch National Ballet (the Netherlands) and a soloist with San Francisco Ballet. Moisés will return to Spain after teaching in the summer to spend more time with his wife and family.

“Dancing at Atlanta Ballet has been a truly great experience – I have enjoyed it greatly. Everyone – the audience, the donors, the students I have had the pleasure to teach, my partners, my colleagues, the members of the staff, the wardrobe department, guest ballet masters, pianists, choreographers, my friends – has contributed in their own way to this experience, and I will remember it with love and gratitude. I love and respect this profession, and my joy for dance will continue in whatever I do next.
