Holliston Dancing Arts Center Dancers Accepted at Prestigious Programs

Four students of the Dancing Arts Center have been accepted into nationally known summer programs this summer.  Most dancers auditioned each weekend in January in both Boston and New York, as companies from across the country held auditions for acceptance into their “summer intensives.” Getting a different perspective and feedback from new instructors is helpful for all the dancers; therefore, Dancing Arts Center helps its students decide when and where it might be appropriate for them to dance during the summer break.

Lindsey Moore, 16, a junior at Holliston High School, will attend Central Florida Ballet’s program in Orlando.  Lindsey has been a student at the Dancing Arts Center since she was 4 years old. She studied dance intensively at the Dancing Arts Academy for 1½years while doing distance learning and entered Holliston High School in September 2006.  Lindsey studied at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater Summer Intensive Program last summer.

Krystyana Greaves, 15, of Ashland, a day student at the Dancing Arts Academy, will be dancing at Alvin Ailey in New York City for 5 weeks.  Krystyana has been a student at the Dancing Arts Center since she was 4 years old and has been attending the Dancing Arts Academy since she was 11 years old.  This will be Krystyana’s first experience in a summer intensive dance program.
