Throwing it back to last week when our advanced levels were treated to master classes with guest teacher and SAB alumna @myrnakamara! She led our C2 girls morning technique class and taught our D girls a variation from WHO CARES?--which everyone thoroughly enjoyed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ms. Kamara danced with New York City Ballet before joining Miami City Ballet and rising to the rank of principal. She has appeared as a guest artist throughout the United States and Europe and currently performs with her own company, BalletXtreme in Zurich. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was wonderful to have Ms. Kamara back in our studios! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
