Ballet Beyond Borders 2020
I'm so proud of Carolyn van Mantgem, Miles Schmidt, and Jackson Rankin, who carried themselves with maturity, kindness, and a willingness to be open to new experiences! Miles won silver, and Carolyn won bronze for their tap solos. They both were awarded generous scholarships to attend the Sunrise Studios Konservatorium in Vienna after high school and received full scholarships to attend the next BBB. Jackson was awarded a full scholarship and acceptance to the Goh Ballet Youth Company Annual Program and was picked as one of the Juror's favorite dancers. I won silver in the professional open category for my tap solo and was awarded outstanding school. It was an honor to be one of the guest teachers. We all had a wonderful time taking master classes and connecting with people worldwide. Thank you Charlene Carey and the BBB team!
