Congratulations to one of our newest Andalusia Ballet alumna, Mia Baumgartner! ✨
When asked about her time dancing, she said, "There are simply no words to describe my immense love and appreciation for Andalusia Ballet. The ballet has served more than a studio space for me; it is truly my home. I began dancing with Andalusia Ballet when I was three, but in actuality my soul has always been there waiting for my movement to join it. I have experienced countless years of joy, laughter, once in a life experiences, and memories that I will cherish forever. I have had the opportunity to be taught by and dance alongside world-renowned professionals, perform on many stages across the southeast, and gain valuable connections that will serve me in my future as I continue my dance career at the University of Alabama, all thanks to Andalusia Ballet. But most importantly, the ballet has instilled true character in me. I have learned what it means to have discipline, strength, poise, kindness, and maturity. I could go on and on for a lifetime about Andalusia Ballet and the wonderful impact it has had on me, but for now, I would just like to say thank you. Thank you for my friends, thank you for my memories, and thank you for helping me achieve my dreams. I love you Andalusia Ballet. This is not good bye, it’s just see you later. ❤️

We love you, Mia! And we look forward to rooting for you as you pursue your future goals!
