Ballet 5:8, resident company at the Harris Theater, will be launching a new ballet school campus in Lakeview on August 29th at the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture.
The Lakeview Campus offers aspiring dancers a comprehensive and immersive learning experience, drawing from ballet and contemporary dance traditions. Located on the second floor of the Athenaeum, the beautiful facility nurtures creativity, discipline, and passion in young dancers, preparing them for successful careers in the performing arts.
Leading this endeavor is the esteemed Katrina Clarke, a Belhaven University summa cum laude graduate with a B.F.A. in Dance and a Minor in Business Administration. Katrina's exceptional performances and versatility in classical and contemporary works have made her an inspiration to the next generation of artists.
Katrina Clarke writes, "One thing I love about teaching, is watching all of the 'light bulb' moments students have as they begin to understand steps and concepts they have been working on. At the Lakeview campus, I’m excited to meet all of the new students and work with them, helping them to grow as dancers and people."
