Play

“I learned about how to make choices and have intention in your dancing. Ballet doesn’t have to be rigid and you can find freedom within the set form.”

“Getting to learn rep from the company dancers the pieces were set on was an added touch that felt beneficial to my growth as an artist. I found when working with choreographers it’s a matter of doing and going for movement. Working with the dancers the movement was set on allowed for us to get in tune with intention.”

“I really loved the conditioning class and I plan to take those exercises with me into the future. I loved that we were taught ensemble work while also learning solo material - it really showed me my strengths and weaknesses.”
