Middle Schooler On Pointe with Her Passion for Ballet

Rising Grade 7 student Olivia Burrington has spent this summer focusing on her passion: ballet. She began with Tacoma City Ballet's Summer Intensive, spending six hours a day and five hours a week of concentrated study in technique, choreography, performance and etiquette. Olivia, now in her 5th year of ballet and 2nd year of pointe class, is working hard to secure a spot as an apprentice in the company and is gearing up for the Nutcracker this holiday season.
