At our recent First Friday masterclass, adult dancers from The Washington School of Ballet had the unique opportunity to step into the world of The Washington Ballet, learning excerpts from Artistic Director Edwaard Liang’s The Art of War, coached directly by TWB Rehearsal Director Andres Estevez.

From studying detailed staging to mastering professional choreography, this session offered an exclusive, in-depth look into our company's artistic process. We love seeing the dedication, passion, and artistry our adult community brings to the studio!

Watching Lope Lim dance, the first thing you notice is his sheer range.

Originally from Manila, Philippines, Lope worked his way through our Studio Company to become a central force in our company. He’s just as home tackling lightning-fast Balanchine classics as he is building brand-new contemporary pieces with guest choreographers. He brings a grounded focus and relentless work ethic to every single role he takes on.
