✨ Student Spotlight ✨
We want to congratulate ISB student, Dalila, for being invited to attend The School of American Ballet's winter term!
Dalila has been dancing for as long as she could walk and participated in theater and competitive dance as a young child. At age 9, she saw Indianapolis Ballet's The Nutcracker and was so inspired that she decided to start focusing on classical ballet. She began attending Indianapolis School of Ballet in 2022.
While at ISB, Dalila trained 6 days a week and formed incredible connections with faculty and classmates. She represented ISB at Youth America Grand Prix and Universal Ballet Competition, and was cast in several Indianapolis Ballet productions, including the role of Clara in The Nutcracker.
For the past 3 summers, Dalila was selected to attend the summer intensive at The School of American Ballet, the official school of New York City Ballet. She was then invited to attend their winter term this year, and has already moved to New York to begin her new journey.
We couldn't be prouder of Dalila and will miss her so much! She has earned every bit of her success through consistent focus and dedication at the Indianapolis School of Ballet. We wish you all the best, Dalila, and are cheering you on!
