Since her earliest days in creative movement and princess camp, Katharina has been a passionate, devoted student. It has been a joy to watch as that same devotion has migrated into her work as a teaching assistant, Teacher in training and co-choreographer. Katharina is passionate, full of drive and heart. She brings a focused energy into the studio that is reflected in her abundant technical abilities, while simultaneously maintaining a kindness that helps keep our team afloat. From being the only 7 year old listening in the tutu making lesson at summer camp to wearing tutu in her advanced ballet solo-Kat has blossomed into the artist of dreams. We cannot wait to watch as she continues her journey with more professional development, training programs, performance opportunities and choreography.

Mallory has been a ray of sunshine in our studio since she was in her first tutu. Starting her soloist career off in hot pink, nervous, and performing in musical theatre, you could say a lot has changed since then-but even in her senior lyrical solo, the same smile and love of dance shines through. Throughout her time here Mallory has grown as an artist, friend and leader; she has transitioned from the little girl who was comforted, and inspired by senior dancers, to a senior who fills the role of a team leader. Mallory finishes off her senior year as an integral TA for multiple competitive routines as well as a volunteer co-choreographer herself. She has been a key part of this team and family since she joined us, and while she takes her steps forward into schooling at Algonquin we're excited to still have her in Ottawa to continue her role as a leader.

Elizabeth has been dancing with us since she was a toddler. From forgetting to wear jazz shoes on stage to becoming an absolute powerhouse, Elizabeth has taken each step with joy, grace and a good attitude. Her talent shines through in her brilliant strength and explosive jumps, but even more so in her groundedness both on and off the stage. Elizabeth is a great leader, demonstrating a positive attitude and perspective that has helped shape the culture of our team. This year she juggled being student co-president at school, work, co-choreography, and dance all while prioritizing keeping dance fun. Elizebeth has stepped up as an understudy at two competitions this year, supporting her team when needed most. As she moves forward in Concurrent Education we can't wait to watch her leadership skills blossom further and see what she does!
