Amy Hall Garner

Next one in the list of the famous contemporary ballet choreographers is Amy Hall Garner. Amy Hall Garner is a New York City-based international choreographer who creates works in the ballet, modern, and theater genres. Her work has been commissioned by numerous schools and companies, including Ailey II, Collage Dance Collective, The Juilliard School, The Ailey School, Barnard College, The University of the Arts, and Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet.

She is a native of Huntsville, Alabama, and a Juilliard School graduate. She has also choreographed for the Columbia Ballet Collaborative and coached Grammy Award winner Beyoncé, providing additional choreography for The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. Her theatrical choreography credits include the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's production of The Color Purple and the Off-Broadway musical Invisible Thread, directed by Tony Award nominee Diane Paulas.

Amy is forging up an outstanding career as she builds her own choreographic signature, from Beyonce to BalletX. Amy Hall Garner was among the first to receive the Joffrey Ballet's Choreography of Color Award (now known as Winning Works). Taylor includes Garner on the list because her "choreography has a real pure, classic look and a romantic feel to how she phrases movement." Taylor also expresses interest in watching Garner's choreographic career develop.
