Isaac Spencer, born 1982 in Massachusetts, U.S.A., is a dancer, teacher, and choreographer living in Frankfurt am Main. He started dancing at age 9 with Joan Sheary and graduated as ballet major from Walnut Hill School for the Arts in 2000. He moved to New York City to study at the Juilliard School under the direction of Benjamin Harkarvy and Lawrence Rhodes. He was the recipient of the Princess Grace Award in 2003, and earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2004. He then joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago under the direction of Jim Vincent. Dance Magazine named him one of the “25 to Watch” in 2006. That year he moved to Stockholm to join Cullberg Ballet under the direction of Johan Inger, then Anna Grip, where he held a permanent contract. After freelancing in Berlin he was invited to dance with GöteborgsOperans Danskompani led by Adolphe Binder for the season 2013/14. Since then, Isaac was an independent dance artist in Dresden and continues to dance and perform in his own productions and with others. He is on the artistic panel of MARC artistic research center in Sweden and a member of the Villa Wigman für TANZ e.V. in Dresden. As of September 2021, he is acting professor for ballet techniques at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts.
