Rebecca Wright (5 December 1947 – 29 January 2006) was an American ballerina, teacher, choreographer and ballet school director. Her background in gymnastics and tap dance was a pivotal influence in early dance training under Josephine Schwarz at the Dayton Ballet. In 1966 she joined the then prominent but small Joffrey Ballet as a principal until 1975, becoming a soloist with American Ballet Theatre (ABT) until her retirement from dance in 1982. She can be seen on television and on DVD as The Doll in Mikhail Baryshnikov's production of The Nutcracker, which was first telecast in 1977. (continued)
