Justin Peck

Peck provided the choreography for the third Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel in 2018 at the Imperial Theatre. Peck has received numerous award nominations for his work on the production including a Tony Award for Best Choreography.

Alastair Macaulay, the chief dance critic at The New York Times, described Peck in an article as "the third important choreographer to have emerged in classical ballet this century." In 2014, Peck was named the New York City Ballet's Resident Choreographer, the youngest and only the second ever to hold the position.

Peck is the focus of the 2014 Jody Lee Lipes documentary Ballet 422.

In 2008, Peck choreographed his first ballet. He has since created more than 25 works, for companies such as New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Miami City Ballet, LA Dance Project, and Paris Opera Ballet.

At 15 years old, Peck moved to New York City to attend the School of American Ballet. In 2006, when he was 18 years old, he was invited by Peter Martins to join the New York City Ballet as an apprentice. In June 2007, he was promoted to corps de ballet. In February 2013, he was promoted to soloist. At New York City Ballet, Peck has danced extensive repertoire, performing in existing and new works by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Peter Martins, Benjamin Millepied, Alexei Ratmansky, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, and Christopher Wheeldon.
