✨ Still reminiscing about our Wizard of Oz recital and all the memories we made along the yellow brick road. So grateful for the music, the dancing, and the magic of sharing it together! ✨

We are very proud to announce that longtime AABD senior and Ballet Southeast company member Katie Haigh will be joining Alabama Ballet’s Studio Company for the 2026–2027 season! We look forward to the many professional opportunities that await her in Birmingham.

Katie’s fantastic use of dynamics, along with the energy and excitement she brings to each performance, leaves us captivated every time. Her notable roles include Aurora, Odile, Snow Queen, Ghost of Christmas Future, and many others.

While she will be deeply missed, we are eager to watch her continue to sprinkle her ballerina sparkle throughout all of her upcoming adventures!

We are thrilled to announce that longtime AABD senior student and Ballet Southeast company member Morgan Burchette will be attending the University of South Carolina this fall!

Morgan will be working toward both a Bachelor of Arts in Dance Performance & Choreography and a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a specialization in Microbiology. We are especially proud to share that she will also be a member of the Betsy Blackmon Dance Company at UofSC, and that she has been awarded both an academic merit scholarship and a dance talent scholarship. Watching her follow not one, but two of her greatest passions is truly inspiring.

Over the years, we have been in awe of Morgan’s beautiful quality of movement and her ability to make even the most challenging choreography appear effortless. Her notable roles include The Sugarplum Fairy, Odette, the Lilac Fairy, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and many others.
We will miss her dearly, but we cannot wait to see all that this next chapter holds for her!
