Roberto Vega Ortiz (he/him) is a Puerto Rican ballet artist whose work lives at the intersection of classical technique and queer embodiment. His approach to ballet is grounded, expansive, and deeply personal, rooted in tradition but driven by transformation.

Born and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Roberto trained at Escuela de Ballets de San Juan, Conservatorio de Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico, Escuela Especializada en Ballet Julián E. Blanco, and Miami City Ballet School. His professional career spans over a decade, with performances across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, including a two-year world tour with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

Roberto has danced with Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico, Nashville Ballet, Diablo Ballet, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, and Ballet22, among others. In 2020, he co-founded Ballet22, where he served as Artistic Director through 2023, helping bring visibility to dancers historically excluded from classical ballet spaces.

In 2024, Roberto co-founded EnbyBallet, a queer-led ballet initiative creating space for trans, nonbinary, and male-identifying dancers en pointe. As Co-Director, he brings a bold yet intimate perspective to the work, balancing tradition with a vision of ballet shaped by queerness, belonging, and transformation.
