We want to congratulate our 16 year old senior Joseph Kirillov, , for being named a Texas Young Masters this year! This is a 2 year grant that is awarded to a small handful of qualified young artists from many disciplines in the arts. Last night, Joseph was honored at an award ceremony in Austin, TX with the other recipients. This is a very prestigious award and just another impressive accomplishment Joseph has earned this year. Some of his other ones include being awarded the Sr Grand Prix award and being invited to compete in at the end of May, which only happens every 4 years. He has also been auditioning for the next phase of his training by applying to pre professional company schools across Europe. We can’t wait to reveal the results of this as he makes his decision and are excited to celebrate all of these incredible accomplishments from his time with us as he graduates from ECC this summer!
Joseph and his family moved from Seattle to Frisco TX when he was 13 to follow his dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer and he is well on his way! Please join us in celebrating him and continuing to support him as he attends the YAGP Galas in NYC as one of their top winners, attends YAGP Finals as a soloist, performs a pas de deux, and dances in our Sr ensemble and then finishes up the season by competing in his first international competition at Helsinki IBC! What a way to finish up your time with ECC Joseph! We could not be more proud of you and all of your hard work and are so blessed to have been by your side these past few years to witness what an incredible young man and dancer you have become!

New York City gala Week! We are so excited to have over half of our dancers invited to be in the Stars of Today Stars of Tomorrow gala because of their winning placements during the 2026 YAGP. What an incredible opportunity these dancers have earned to work on a piece for a week that will be used in the upcoming galas in NYC and then at Finals in Houston. We are so proud to have these beauties represent and so excited for them to get to perform on the Koch Theater stage in Lincoln Center and spend an inspiring week preparing for it! We are sending our prayers and love to each one of them along with all of the other talented dancers they’ll share the stage with. Dance your hearts out guys and enjoy every moment! You’ve earned it!
