I'm so incredibly proud of my former student, Eleanor Faul. Congratulations, Eleanor! What an amazing achievement.

Eleanor Faul started dancing at age 3 in her hometown of Seattle, Washington. At age 12 she started training at Pacific Northwest Ballet School with noted faculty such as Marjorie Thompson, Dana Hanson, and Abbie Siegel until graduating in 2024. Eleanor then danced as a trainee at Saint Louis Ballet for two years. Eleanor is excited to join Huntsville Ballet Company for her first season.

"My child, Elisha, was new to dance this year but absolutely loved the creative ballet class with Aubra! It seemed like the perfect balance between structure and ballet technique on the one hand, and imaginative, free-spirited movement, on the other. Elisha learned a lot!" -Rachel

I'm excited to introduce Nora Lang, the new instructor for our Capitol Hill classes at Dance Underground. I am thrilled to have them joining our team this fall. Here is a bit about Nora, and the fall schedule for Ballard and Capitol Hill locations follows. Don't delay registering, some classes are nearly full!

Nora Lang (they/them) believes dance is for everyone. Nora has been fortunate to teach in a variety of community-based locations including senior community centers, art museums, and public elementary schools. In the studio, Nora's classes focus on storytelling, individual expression through movement, and practicing teamwork through games. Having worked with people from the ages of 3 through 80, they understand how to meet dancers at whatever pace they need and create an accessible space. When you take their class, you'll experience a blend of playfulness combined with practicing functional movement that will enrich your experience in the dance studio and beyond.

We also still have room in our Ballard Summer Camp, August 17-21.
