Alberto plans to stay in the area and focus on a new career.

Mihailo Djuric, artistic director of FBP, said, "We have been very fortunate to have had Alan in the company for the past six years, and I know our audience has come to enjoy and respect the power and artistry he brings to the stage."

"I'm excited for this next chapter in my life and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have danced with Festival Ballet for so many years," Alberto said, adding, "I'm looking forward to continuing to grow my local food brand and contributing to the community in my new career."

Highlights from Alberto¹s career at Festival Ballet include leading roles in Balanchine¹s Rubies, Allegro Brillante, Agon, and principal roles in The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Lady of the Camellias, Cinderella, Scheherazade, among many others.
