I came to Wisconsin in the summer of 2018. My second company contract with the ballet company I was with had not been renewed, and I arrived with a bruised ego and little confidence in my dancing. Dancing for Mr. Eddy with Bray Ballet Company has been the greatest gift, both to my dancing and to my personal growth. We tackled holes in my technique I didn’t even know I had, and my dancing has improved dramatically. Thanks to the positive and encouraging environment, I am more confident in both my dancing and my life outside ballet. I’ve also had the opportunity to perform repertoire I never thought I would do, and I absolutely credit Mr. Eddy for the fact that I continue to dance.
