John Selya trained at the School of American Ballet. Mr. Selya went on to join American Ballet Theatre, where he danced and choreographed. Following his departure from A.B.T., Mr. Selya joined Twyla Tharp’s company. He created the role of Eddie in Ms. Tharp’s Tony Award winning Broadway musical “Movin’ Out,” which earned him numerous awards and nominations. Following “Movin’ Out,” Mr. Selya performed in other Broadway productions, including “Guys and Dolls” and Ms.Tharp’s “Come Fly Away.” He directed and starred in the national tour of “Come Fly Away” and, in 2013, he staged the work for the Royal Danish Ballet where it became an audience favorite and broke box office records. In addition to the world’s stages, Mr. Selya’s dancing can also be seen in movies such as Woody Allen’s “Everyone Says I Love You,” Julie Taymore’s “Across the Universe” and John Turturro’s “Romance and Cigarettes.” Mr. Selya is a recipient of a fellowship at New York University’s Center for Ballet and the Arts in the fall of 2015.
