Eleni Grove

Communications Manager

Eleni’s love of dance began at age three. Born and raised in Middleburg, Virginia, Eleni graduated from Denison University, in Granville, Ohio, with a B.A. in Sociology/Anthropology and a minor in Dance. At Denison, she completed a year-long research project that examined the conflicting portrayals of sexuality in ballet, investigating whether dancers and companies are set by expectations of audiences and therefore struggle to perform both their art and their identity. While conducting her research, she worked closely with BalletMet in Columbus, OH, and was drawn into the world of arts administration. An internship with the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Colorado solidified that interest. Eleni joined BNC two seasons ago as an administrative assistant. From there, Eleni took on the position of Box Office & Admin Manager. And most recently, Eleni became Communications Manager handling BNC's marketing and public relations.
