New Era for Louisville Ballet | Louisville News

Felicia Swoope, the new executive director of the Louisville Ballet, is poised to lead the company into its 75th anniversary year with bold vision and deep passion for dance. Hailing from Cleveland and with a background in arts administration, teaching, and founding E-Moves, she brings fresh energy to a legacy organization that recently secured major funding after pandemic setbacks. Taking over from Leslie Smart, Swoope inherits a revitalized ballet poised for growth — with “Frankenstein” hitting the stage next month — as she prepares to build on momentum and elevate the art form to new heights.
