Sean Lavery Biography

Sean Lavery is one of the most popular and richest Dancer who was born on August 16, 1956 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States.

Lavery grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and studied at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet as a young boy before moving to New York to train with Barbara Fallis and Richard Thomas. He joined the San Francisco Ballet in 1973 and the Frankfurt Opera Ballet in 1975, where he was promoted to principal dancer. In 1976, Lavery returned to New York to join New York City Ballet at the invitation of George Balanchine. A year later he made his major role debut as Titania’s Cavalier in A Midsummer Night’s Dream followed in quick succession by promotion to soloist in early 1978 and to principal dancer later that year.

In 1986 at the age of 30, while partnering Patricia McBride during a performance of Who Cares?, Lavery would suffer an injury that proved catastrophic. Due to a then unknown tumor on his spine, this injury would cause Lavery extreme neurological damage which led to the end of his career as a dancer. At the time Lavery carried a bulk of the repertory at City Ballet, giving up to 8 performances a week during the company’s season. Despite lacking the proper finances to pay for his surgeries or rehabilitation, Lavery was supported emotionally and financially by the company and its Dancers’ Emergency Fund which was created by Jerome Robbins in 1980 specifically to assist dancers in the troupe waylaid by unexpected medical costs or personal losses. As a well beloved star dancer, Lavery’s recovery was extensively covered by The New York Times in an article titled A Dancer’s Nightmare.
