ABOUT
Al Blackstone (he/him/his) is an Emmy-winning director, choreographer, and educator. His passion for bringing people together to experience something meaningful drives him to make dances, tell stories, and encourage joyful connection. Born in New Jersey and raised in a dance studio, he has called New York City home for more than a decade. In that time he has created emotional work for the stage and screen, thrown dance parties for charity, and introduced hundreds of people to one another. He continues to make work in theater, television, and concert dance and shares his passion for theater dance with students around the world including The Juilliard School, LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts, Press Play Dance Convention, and Steps on Broadway.
He resides in Brooklyn with his husband Abraham and has kept a journal since he’s 12.
Al is short for Albert.
“Blackstone is a choreographic novelist; he creates character, illustrates intention, and synthesizes subtext as organically as a poet might scribe a sonnet.”

“Dance appears in a flash and then disappears just as quickly; it’s gorgeous that way.”
