BalletMet Dancers Jimmy Orrante & Carrie West

Jimmy Orrante, known for playing the seductive lead vampire in BalletMet’s Dracula, retired from the stage this spring after 20 years with the ballet company. Carrie West, who joined the company in 1998 and played the original Lucy opposite Orrante’s Dracula, also retired this season after sustaining a knee injury. We recently sat down with both of them to reflect on their careers and find out what comes next for these two stars of the stage.
