Early life

In 1988, Evans joined the New York City Ballet. He was soon given lead roles by choreographers Eliot Feld and William Forsythe, both for NYCB's American Music Festival.[3] He was also cast in other lead roles while being a corps de ballet member.[2] He was promoted to soloist in 1991 and principal dancer in 1995.[4] He was the second African American principal dancer in the company, after Arthur Mitchell, and the sole one during his career.[3] Though he had never worked with George Balanchine, he was known for performing his works.[1] Choreographers he had created roles for includes Alexei Ratmansky, Christopher Wheeldon and Susan Stroman.[2] While he was still performing, he started pursuing choreography, his works include Haiku, Broken Promises, both for NYCB,[1] and Seego for The Washington Ballet.[2]

In June 2010, Evans retired after performing the third (Phlegmatic) variation from Balanchine's The Four Temperaments and Forsythe's Herman Schmerman pas de deux, partnering Wendy Whelan.[5] He then served as a ballet master with the company.[4] He also became an assistant to resident choreographer Justin Peck,[2] and appeared in the documentary Ballet 422, which follows the creation process of Peck's Paz de la Jolla.[6]
