This year's Kids Dance includes a world premiere of "Echoes of the Studio," a ballet choreographed by Dionne Figgins which highlights a dancer's journey from studio to stage. As part of that journey, four Ballet Tech alumni dancers - Katherine Stephen, Julienne Buenaventura, Violetta Komyshan, and Nicholas Begun - will perform alongside our students, featured throughout the piece as the dance professionals that lead and inspire their younger counterparts.
