nikki00 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Not as far as I know. My teacher only started this new studio three years ago, but she's been teaching for 29 years, in major cities in Australia (Sydney mainly) so I wouldn't be suprised if she had. I keep meaning to ask her, but I keep forgetting! Â Have you guys had these people come back to your studio to say 'hi' I would love it if that happened to me! Quote Link to comment

balletstar811 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Yea, these dancers come to visit during the summer for a few days and I watch them take the professional division class... *sigh*. Quote Link to comment
GretchenStar Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Misty Copeland and Ashley Ellis, although Misty came just 2 years before graduating high school and going to ABT Studio Co. Ashley started at the studio when she was 5. Â Also, Ilona McHugh went to my middle/high school and her and her sister (Alina Faye) took class at the studio I was at in Long Beach/Lakewood, CA.
