Under his direction of Ballet UAB (a precursor to what is now Alabama Ballet, Grebel's company was the first in Alabama to be given permission (by Mr. George Balanchine) to do Balanchine's "Serenade" from 1972 through 1982 in performances at Boutwell Auditorium and at the new Birmingham Civic Center Concert Hall, as well as in tourings across the state. Stevan was able to secure the talents of Ronnie Bates,lighting director for the New York City Ballet, to set the lights for "Serenade" as well as for other projects of Grebel's in Birmingham. Grebel's students have gone on to dance, teach, choreograph, and direct in cities all over the United States and Europe. He has been acclaimed as a Master Teacher in the world and that, here in Alabama, is a little known secret - that Grebel has so much to offer the students and professionals, alike.
