To commemorate 50 years, October 10, 2021 is a day to celebrate the life and legacy of José Neglia
José Arnaldo Neglia (April 2, 1929 – October 10, 1971) was Sergio Neglia's father.
José was an important and influential ballet dancer at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and throughout the world. He received incredible global recognition including the 1962 Prix Nijinski and the 1968 Gold Star at Le Festival International de la Danse à Paris. Despite many accolades, José was a humble man who loved his family, nature, and performance. He is celebrated for the raw, intense artistry that he infused into his roles. 50 years after his sudden passing along with eight fellow dancers, Neglia Ballet Artists continues José's work and heart by preserving artistry in ballet and nurturing dancers of all ages.
The José Neglia Scholarship Fund helps students with a passion for ballet achieve their dreams. Thank you for your support!
