Dance Connections is very happy to host, for the first time in London, the Oklahoma City Ballet Summer Intensive Masterclass & Audition ❤️

This highly respected professional training program is designed to strengthen classical technique while developing each dancer’s individual artistry in the USA.
The masterclass will be led by Alysson Rocha, Head of the Professional Division at Oklahoma City Ballet School and YAGP judge, who will be teaching and selecting students for the Summer Intensive.

So proud of my baby girl for her first time performing solos at YAGP. Her dedication and work ethic are beyond anything I ever accomplished at 12!

After decades of participating as a coach, a director, a judge… the universe is showing me what it feels like to be a parent as well. It is possibly the most challenging of all! ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who has invested along the way @nbrooksher @makonrad @ericadportell @yagp @okcballetschool @alyssoon_rocha @rjnchoreography by @racheallnye

Thank you, Ms. Racheal Nye @racheallnye and YAGP @yagp , for the opportunity to assist at the Professional Development Workshop at San Francisco Ballet School @sfballetschool .

I’m also grateful to Ms. Grace Holmes @gmadholmes for making me feel so welcome at the beautiful SF Ballet School studios—it was such a pleasure to meet you.

A heartfelt thank you ❤️ to my school, Bayer Ballet @bayerballetacademy , and my teachers, Ms. Inna Bayer @inna.bayerballet and Ms. Oksana Vasileva @vasilevaiakunina , for preparing me for amazing opportunities like this.

A special surprise was running into San Francisco Ballet @sfballet dancers I admire so much, Katherine Barkman @katherine_barkman and Alexis Valdes @alexisfranci_ .

I also stopped by my favorite dancewear store @sfdancegear ❤️❤️ and convinced my mom to buy me a few things I absolutely needed 🤣

❤️ Thank you!
