DANCER SPOTLIGHT

Trainee: Leah

I’ve danced ballet for the past decade, and I love being able to express myself through movement.

My favourite ballet is Giselle. It’s my favourite story ballet and I love the art direction and choreography. My favourite dance step is the sissonne, since I absolutely love to jump. My dream ballet is also Giselle, and my dream role is Myrtha.

My favourite place in NL is the Cape Spear Lighthouse. Seeing whales and icebergs off the shore is calming.

DANCER SPOTLIGHT

Trainee: Rylen

I love performing and sharing my passion for dance with the audience, and how I can express myself without using words.

My favourite ballet is Swan Lake because I love the story telling and the cleanliness of the corps de ballet. My favourite step is a renversé. My dream role is to dance Nikiya in La Bayadère.

Topsail beach is my favourite place in Newfoundland.
