“ I’ve been able to engage in numerous masterclasses with renowned guest artists such as Sarah Lamb of the Royal Ballet and Anna-Marie Holmes of the Kirov. In my relatively short time here, I’ve seen immense growth in my dancing and more specifically my artistry. Coming from South Dakota, access to quality training and support in my passion was minimal. —JULIAN (IAC 24, IAA 24-25), DANCE STUDENT
