View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
The Universal Ballet (Korean: 유니버설 발레단) was founded in Seoul, South Korea in 1984. One of only five professional ballet companies in South Korea, the company performs a repertory that includes many full length classical story ballets, together with shorter contemporary works and original full-length Korean ballets created especially for the company. The company is supported by followers of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, with Moon's daughter-in-law Julia H. Moon, who was the company's prima ballerina until 2001, now serving as General Director.[1][2][3][4]
According to the New York Times the Universal Ballet is considered to be one of Asia's leading ballet companies.[5]
