Calling all dancers in 3rd–12th grades—our Master Class Series continues! Join us on Saturday, August 15, for an exciting day of instruction with Madison Ryan and Andrés Castillo of Alabama Ballet. Both Madison and Andrés are familiar faces at TADA, having taught during our summer intensives. Most recently, they captivated Tupelo audiences as featured soloists in Don Quixote (April 2025), presented under the direction of Sharon Long.
With years of professional performing experience and a genuine passion for mentoring young dancers, Madison and Andrés bring exceptional artistry and expertise to every class. We are honored to welcome them back and excited for them to share their knowledge and inspire the dancers in our community.

We are excited to launch a new series of Master Classes designed to inspire, challenge, and elevate dancers throughout our community. Our inaugural class will feature Tupelo’s own Hannah Grimes, respected ballet instructor and owner of To The Pointe Shoe Store. This is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to refine their technique, strengthen their artistry, and learn from an experienced instructor in an encouraging environment. Throughout the year, our Master Class Series will also welcome distinguished instructors, professional dancers, and artistic directors from across the Southeast, offering dancers the opportunity to train with a variety of accomplished artists and broaden their knowledge and experience.
