Point of Interest
Some people might be surprised to learn that if he weren’t dancing Mr. Zweifel says he would be a doctor.

Beginning his fourth season with Texas Ballet Theater, Peter Zweifel has already established himself in both the roles as performer and choreographer.  He trained at Houston Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy where he received the Peter Schaer Award and Nureyev Scholarship.  Mr. Zweifel has enjoyed performing “Tybalt” in Ben Stevenson’s Romeo and Juliet, “Ugly Stepsister” in Cinderella and Camouflage.  He previously choreographed Sweet n Tangy and Absence for Texas Ballet Theater and will premiere a new work in October’s Majestic Celebration.
