Ellison Ballet

What an incredible way to begin a professional career! ✨

Just two weeks after joining Boston Ballet II, Caroline Haruki has been promoted to Artist with Boston Ballet’s main company.

Caroline graduated from EB in May 2026 and joined Boston Ballet II this summer. Such a rapid promotion is highly unusual, a tremendous recognition of Caroline’s talent and potential, and a testament to how her training at Ellison Ballet prepared her for the demands of professional company life.

We couldn’t be prouder of you, Caroline. Congratulations on this extraordinary achievement! 🩰👏
