George de la Peña (born December 9, 1955) is an American ballet dancer, musical theatre performer, choreographer, actor, and teacher.
Originally trained as a concert pianist, de la Peña switched to ballet while studying at the High School for the Performing Arts in New York City.
By 1985, de la Peña and his then-wife, ballerina Rebecca Wright had both left ABT and moved to California.
In a 1983 interview in the New York Times, an exasperated de la Peña, who is of mixed Russian and Argentinian descent, pointed out that producers thought he was not a native English speaker.
A director and choreographer for both theatrical works and concert dance, he assisted figure skater Debi Thomas with her routine for the Olympics.
