I Like The Way Things Are Going For Ballet

 Ballet is a very beautiful form of dance.  I almost said sport but it really isn’t a sport.  Or, is it?  Madeline says, “Indianapolis ballet is a sport.”  Certainly it takes skill and stamina and a certain amount of specialized information and training.  But lets look at other things like that.  What about cheerleading and the like.  A judge had to actually rule on whether or not it was a sport for funding purposes.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE DECIEDED?  Nope Nada.  No sport.  What about running.  Sure track is a sport.  Organized first and second places all the way down to last.  Yet you can jog for exercise and that is not a sport .  Just like you could dance on Friday night for fun and exercise but that is not a sport.  How about ballet?  There are competitions like the Youth American Grand Prix where judges rule on technique, and the such, just like figure skating.  Heck that is even an Olympic sport.   Madeline would agree that it is a sport this holiday.

 Oaks Academy Student Dances Her Way into the Hearts of Nutcracker Lovers!

Students of the pre-professional Indiana Ballet Conservatory are gearing up for a wonderful holiday tradition: the Nutcracker Ballet at the Madame Walker Theater.  On the weekend of December 17 – 19, they will star in 4 performances that will likely be a sold-out venue. Madeline will be performing in significant roles that will contribute to the success of this timeless tradition. 

Madeline is balancing her studies with her intense ballet training and performing in a key roles such as Little Snow, Young Lady, and an understudy for the Corps de Ballet.  She has been a valued student of the teachers of IBC for years and has had the opportunity to perform many lead roles and compete internationally while representing herself, the conservatory, and Indiana.  We are excited to have her play integral parts in this year’s Nutcracker!  We hope you can come support your fellow Oaks Academy student at one of the 4 performances.

She also won 1^st place at the YAGP.  That is Ballet Indianapolis style!
