Juneau Dance Theatre

Today we said goodbye to Amy at the JDT office. Amy has been our registrar and so much more, for over five years; and a long-time volunteer for many years prior to that. Thank you, Amy, for your tireless hours and commitment to JDT! This is Juneau, so…we’ll see you around! Best wishes with your new job! ❤️ 👏🏼 😉

Some first and last looks at our graduating seniors. Fun fact, JDT has been Lauryn and Adara’s second home since before almost all of our other students were born! They finished up the semester, and graduate high school next week, but we hope to see them again in the studio, and around JDT. Our door is open, ladies! ❤️❤️ @lauryncampos @adarab27

SUMMER INTENSIVE NEWS!
Introducing our summer ballet faculty and guests, Ekaterina Kozlova and Ivan Kozlov! Kate and Ivan are the founders and directors of the Kyiv City Ballet, in Kyiv, Ukraine. Each have miles of prominent, professional teaching, choreography and performance credits to their names- from the Paris Opera to the Mariinsky. The pair currently leads the company from Paris, where they had a scheduled tour of The Nutcracker, in late February. Unable to make it home due to the war, which broke out the day after arriving in France, Paris authorities provided refuge to the troupe, and a residency at the Chatelet Theatre. With half of the company still in Ukraine at the time, they scrambled to bring everyone back together. Kate and Ivan’s uplifting story of perseverance continues, and their passion and commitment to their troupe is heart-warming and inspiring. We are proud and honored to bring them to Juneau for our intensive! Stay tuned for more information about Kate and Ivan, and look for summer intensive registration to open soon! Intensive dates: July 17-30. 🩰 UKR => FR => AK @kievcityballet @traveljuneauak @juneau.life

Happy Mother’s Day to all JDT moms! Especially this group, currently traveling for team competition. These moms will have to wait for their day of relaxation and pampering. Competition doors opened at 7:00, and the last round of awards won’t wrap up until at least 7:00 tonight. They will spend the day running around, doing hair and make-up, eagerly following the schedule so they’re where they need to be at all times (and ready to change at moment’s notice), backing up a friend in need, looking for (and finding) the jacket, the other shoe, the headpiece, etc., sneaking time for rest and food for their dancer when they can. But most importantly, they will be cheering on, celebrating, and hugging their kids every chance they get, through the highs and lows, in support of them and their passion for dance! Thanks for coming out from behind the camera, so we can celebrate you!! 🥰❤️👏🏽 Fusion Dance Teams at JDT

Senior Sunday! Senior spotlight! Lauryn Campos is one of our beautiful graduating seniors, dancing in her last performance in JDT’s Spring Showcase! Lauryn is known for her low-maintenance, even temperament, happy to roll with whatever is thrown her way (frogs, turtles, queens, etc.) A woman of few words, she prefers to express herself through dance, and she does it with grace and elegance. We are fortunate to have had Lauryn and her supportive family, a part of JDT, for over a decade, and counting! Best wishes, Lauryn! 🩰@lauryncampos @srcampos1

Senior Sunday! Senior spotlight! Adara Allen is one of our two beautiful seniors graduating this year, having spent nearly her whole life as a JDT student, volunteer, role model, and employee. She may be moving on from JDT, but her smile will never be far from our hearts and memories. Known for her work ethic, and often accompanied by her dedicated parents and sister, Adara is a key member of our organization. Be sure to catch her on stage today in her final performance as a JDT student. 🩰😘😭 @adarab27 @karen.allen.5036459 @jessekiehl
