Alun Jones, 82, the long-time director of the Louisville Ballet, died April 26, 2019 in Greece of a heart attack. A native of Wales, Jones and his wife, ballerina Helen Starr, came to Louisville in 1975 to help start the Louisville Ballet School. Jones became artistic director of the ballet in 1978 and led the company for 24 years before retiring in 2002.

Under his leadership, the ballet’s subscriptions exploded and the ballet developed a national reputation for innovation. After retirement, Jones continued to stage ballets he choreographed in Louisville and around the country. In April, the Louisville Ballet reprised Jones’ “Cinderella”.
