In 2007, she left to perform with the Pacific Northwest Ballet, first as a guest artist, then joined the company as a principal dancer, before retiring in 2010.
[2] Weese started dancing at age five, after a doctor recommended it to help her with knock knees and otherwise bad health.
[2] In 1990,[1][4] at age fifteen,[3] she attended a summer intensive at the School of American Ballet, and was offered a place full-time.
[7] In 1994, she was promoted to soloist, and started to substitute others in principal roles when required, including once in Balanchine's Walpurgisnacht Ballet, after only one rehearsal.
[2] Her repertory included 25 ballets choreographed by George Balanchine,[3] such as Theme and Variations,[9] Apollo,[10] "Emerald" and "Rubies" from Jewels,[11][12] Symphony in C,[13] Who Cares?, The Four Temperaments, Ballo della Regina,[6] Symphony in Three Movements,[14] Robert Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze,[1] Divertimento No.
She returned to California to train with her teacher, then back to New York with ballet master Susan Hendl, while fellow dancers Peter Boal, Jock Soto and Woetzel also volunteered to work with her.
[22] She stated the Pacific Northwest Ballet, where she had made a guest appearance before, has "a schedule and a lifestyle that's very appealing" to her, as she would have more time to prepare for roles, and the rehearsal and performance periods do not overlap.
