Elise Feldman is the founder of the Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater (“AXCBT”) and of the Axelrod Performing Arts Academy (“APAA”). Both are part of the Axelrod Performing Arts Center, in Deal Park, NJ where Elise serves on the Board of Directors.
AXCBT is an innovative company whose vision was formed by co-founder, Gabriel Chajnik, its Director and Choreographer. Some of its original productions include Midsummer Night’s Dream, Alice in Wonderland, Jungle Book, Nutcracker Rocks, Polar Express and Something’s Coming.
APAA was formed during the pandemic to give students dance classes while homebound. The excitement grew so that it is now a tuition program in both dance and theater arts. The classes take place at the AXCBT Studio at Bell Works, in Holmdel, NJ.
Elise’s dance training was in Graham technique, including at the Martha Graham school in NYC at Martha’s invitation. Elise has choreographed summer stock productions in Pittsburgh of “Pal Joey” and “Guys and Dolls”, consulted with the Pittsburgh Ballet, and led the Israeli Dance Troupe “Rishona” in Pittsburgh, PA.
