Loren Hightower

Loren Hightower is an American dancer who split his performing career between ballet and musical theatre.

Originally from Texas, Hightower trained with Ted Shawn. He danced principal roles with the Metropolitan Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and the Agnes de Mille Dance Theatre; in addition, he performed regularly at the Metropolitan Opera. Like many ballet dancers of the 1940s and 1950s, Hightower frequently supplemented his income by working in musical theatre, and his Broadway appearances include "Peter Pan", "110 in the Shade", "Camelot", "Anyone Can Whistle", and "Brigadoon". He retired from performing in the late 1960s.

Hightower's credits as a choreographer include the ballets "The Maids", "An Idyll for Aphrodite", and "Chips from a Crystal Ballroom", as well as "Museum" for the New York Shakespeare Festival.

For many years, Hightower taught dance at Adelphi University.
