About ECCB
Founded in 2019 by Claire Mazza and Alejandro Ulloa, East Coast Contemporary Ballet is a Connecticut-based dance company producing entirely original work and committed to creating rich cultural experiences that audiences can relate to and be inspired by through engaging productions, collaborations with local artists and organizations, community engagement and bold choreography.
In 2021 ECCB premiered their first original full-length contemporary ballet set entirely to the music of Ernesto Lecuona and in the summer of the same year founded the Fairfield County Dance Festival in partnership with Thomas Ortiz Dance, offering free summer dance performances throughout Fairfield County. They have also been invited to perform in the Newport Dance Festival, Westhampton Beach Project, and Stamford Dances Downtown. Collaboration being a core value of the company, ECCB has had the pleasure to collaborate with music artists such as Nathan Haselby, Latin Grammy-award winner Pedro Giraudo, Alturos Duo and Callisto Quartet, with fellow dance companies, and with organizations such as the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra, Museum of Contemporary Art, CT, Norwalk Art Space, Darien Arts Center, HMTX Headquarters, The HIVE by Beechwood, and the Fairfield Museum and History Center.
