We enjoyed a beautiful performance in our theatre last night, presented by the students in our spring Ballet Repertory class. They dedicated themselves to learning eight classical ballet variations over the past semester. Each dancer had the opportunity to perform their favorite variation, along with one chosen by their teacher, Ms. Jackie, for an audience of family and friends. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and inspired by their commitment to growing as dancers. ✨
