Today we celebrate ABIGAIL WARN, a member of Indiana Ballet Conservatory's Class of 2026.

“IBC has allowed me to become the person I am today. Through IBC, I have received so many amazing opportunities and have met some of my best friends. One of my favorite parts of dance is being able to perform on stage alongside my friends. I love the rush and excitement that I get with every performance, and there is no better feeling than walking off stage with the biggest smile on your face.” ~Abigail

When reflecting on her years at IBC, Abigail doesn't just think about ballet - she thinks about the person she became along the way. Through countless rehearsals, performances, challenges, and successes, she found opportunities to grow, friendships that will last a lifetime, and moments that helped shape her future.

This fall, Abigail will begin an exciting new chapter at Indiana University, where she plans to study Dietetics.

As she takes the next step toward her future, we hope she carries with her the confidence, determination, and joy that have defined her time at IBC. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and can't wait to see what comes next.
Congratulations, Abigail! ❤️🎉

“In my time spent at IBC, I’ve made so many new friends and was able to find a new perspective for ballet!

Throughout her time at IBC, Emily has been such an integral part of the IBC family. A big sister to all, she has helped make an impact on the youngest students while also embracing all that ballet training and performance has taught her. Emily has been part of countless memories that extend beyond the walls of IBC and will last a lifetime.

After graduation, Emily plans to attend flight attendant school as well as esthetician school, embarking on two exciting new adventures as she begins the next chapter of her life.
