NEWS // Oklahoma City Ballet is thrilled to announce its first-ever resident choreographer: DaYoung Jung!

DaYoung created her first choreographic work in 2021's "Future Voices: A Choreographic Showcase" while a principal dancer with OKC Ballet. Since retiring from the stage and transitioning to rehearsal director in 2022, she's continued to grow as a choreographer — creating works for Milwaukee Ballet's Genesis: International Choreographic Competition, New York Choreographic Institute, National Choreographers Initiative (twice!), and The Joffrey Ballet's Winning Works, among others.

We're so grateful for the time and talent DaYoung has given our organization and the OKC community. Join us in congratulating her on this exciting new role!
