Congratulations to the class of 2026! We are so proud of the humans you have become and can't wait to see how you change the world.
Today's featured grad is Abby!
-My favourite styles are contemporary and ballet because I love how expressive and controlled they feel. But I’m a musical theatre girl at heart, it allows me to have such a fun time on stage and be as goofy as I can.
-Next year, I’ll be studying nursing at the University of Alberta, with the goal of becoming a pediatric oncology nurse.
-One of my favourite memories from dance is going to Menchies after a couple Thursday classes with everyone. After being exhausted from rehearsals, we’d always find the energy to go to Menchies, eat a big bowl of frozen yogurt, laugh way too loud, and debrief absolutely everything that happened that day. It was such a small thing, but it felt so special and brought us together.
-To the younger dancers: don’t rush it. Be goofy, take a million pictures, laugh in the wings, and soak in every second with your friends. The trophies are great, and the scores are rewarding. However, the memories and the people you meet are what you’ll actually carry with you into the future. And as always, when in doubt, dance it out!
