Paul Early
Paul Early is proud to serve as the Party Parent Waltz instructor for this year’s production of The Nutcracker. In addition to teaching choreography and guiding the Party Parents through the opening scene, he is also performing the role of Mr. Stahlbaum. Paul has been involved with Ballet Brazos for six years and is participating in his fifth Nutcracker. He began waltzing as a teenager and brings both theatrical experience and a passion for storytelling to his work with the cast.
Previously, he performed as Mr. Stahlbaum and served as the understudy for Drosselmeyer. Paul especially enjoys the collaborative spirit of The Nutcracker and the opportunity to work with dancers of all ages. He is a theatre teacher at Allen Academy, where he nurtures creativity and performance in his students.
Outside the studio, Paul enjoys riding his bicycle and playing Dungeons & Dragons. He is honored to support Ballet Brazos and looks forward to continuing his involvement for many seasons to come.
