“Ballerinas are masters of creating their own inner world. We spend our whole careers working on subtle details and inflections that taken alone can only be perceived by the most trained eye. Every step is an opportunity to express something about the music, the character, life, the world. But when all the nuances are in place, they come together in the moment to create something transcendent. A person entering the theater for the first time in their life may leave a great performance feeling loved beyond words.” ~ Isabella Boylston an excerpt from the foreword she wrote for Ballerina Project’s new book.

Did you say scholarships?! At Magnify, we applaud the academic efforts of our students, as we know and fully appreciate the demand and dedication that maintaining a high academic standard requires.

We are very proud to be New Mexico’s first chapter of the National Honor Society for Dance Artists (NHSDA).

The NHSDA is a program of the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO), created to recognize outstanding artistic merit, leadership, and academic achievement in students studying dance in public and private schools in K-12 education.

The NDEO recognizes the achievements of outstanding students and offers annual scholarships to dance students who meet certain academic standards.

Magnify Dance Center is proud to offer our dancers the opportunity to be recognized in two levels of induction:
The junior program for grades 6 - 8
The secondary program for grades 9 - 12.

Become a member of our chapter and check out the opportunities presented to you or your dancer here:

www.nhsda-ndeo.org
Just click on “Student Application.”

We love this new opportunity to honor our students and their endeavors as well as to help advance the field of dance education.

📢 Announcing Magnify’s newest addition to our Teacher Training/Internship program! Meet Jadyn Jameson, who will be present in many Magnify classes this year as well as learning the ropes of studio management. We are excited to have Jadyn join our program for aspiring dance educators!
Jadyn Jameson began her dance training at the age of three and has been pursuing her passion ever since. She joined The Performers Ballet & Jazz Company in 2016, dancing in Christmas Joy and How Love Wins. She trains in all forms of dance, but especially enjoys classical ballet and jazz. Jadyn has benefited from the excellent tutelage of the Magnify directors and staff, as well as broadening her knowledge through summer training with Joanna Berman, former principal dancer with the San Fransico Ballet, and Ballet 5:8 professional company artists outside of Chicago, along with many other talented dance instructors.

In addition to her own development as a well-rounded dancer, Jadyn is excited to begin interning with the faculty of Magnify Dance Center. She looks forward to sharing her love of dance and encouraging the next generation of young dancers.
