Ebony Williams - Crew

Encapsulating audiences around the world, dancer and choreographer, Ebony Williams has proven time and time again that she is a force to be reckoned with. Williams has quickly positioned herself as Hollywood’s go-to Choreographer. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Williams discovered her enthusiasm for dance in all genres at the young age of eight, doing hip-hop with the neighborhood kids before studying jazz and tap at the Roxbury Center for the Performing Arts. Exhibiting extraordinary talent with little to no ballet training, Williams was selected to train in the Citi Dance Program. Soon after, Boston Ballet recognized her talent as remarkable, and promoted her from the Citi Dance Program to the Boston Ballet School as a full scholarship student. In 2005 after graduating from the Boston Conservatory with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, Williams signed a contract with the renowned Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet as the company’s first African American female dancer, performing works by Hofesh Shechter, Crysal Pite, Alexander Ekman, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Ohad Naharin, Jiri Kylian as well as a host of others, establishing herself as a versatile artist.
