Elliott Rogers is a native of Chicago where he began dancing at the age of 2.

He started training with Chicago Ballet Arts for 2 years and then moved on to more focused training with Ruth Page Center for the Arts under the leadership of Victor Alexander and Dolores Long.

Over the 9 years at Ruth Page, Elliott built his foundation as a student, gained performance experience, and participated in exchange programs with international schools. The most notable being with Escuela Nacional Cubana de Ballet (Cuban National Ballet School).

At 14 Elliott was accepted into Houston Ballet Academy’s Professional Division. During his 4 years in the Professional Division, he received the Ben Stevenson Scholarship Fund to push his training further. After progressing through the academy, he was promoted to Houston Ballet’s second company, HBII, under the direction of Claudio Muñoz and Kelly Myernick for the next 2 seasons.

While training in Houston, Elliott greatly expanded his repertoire, adding over 70 different roles in 50 works, including leading roles in Stanton Welch AM’s The Gentlemen, Bruiser, Brigade, Clear, and others. He would also go on to perform with Houston Ballet in productions of Welch’s The Nutcracker, Romeo & Juliet, and Sylvia. In 2023 he was selected to represent HBII in Assemblée Internationale, hosted by National Ballet School of Canada.

In 2023 Elliott joined Kansas City Ballet as an apprentice. During his apprenticeship, he received the opportunity to perform the title role in Devon Carney’s Peter Pan.

Elliott is eager to continue his professional career with Kansas City Ballet.
