Master Ballet Academy Receives
OUTSTANDING STUDIO AWARD
at the Youth America Grand Prix San Diego, CA Semifinals


Our studio received the Outstanding Studio Award at the YAGP semifinals in San Diego, CA, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our teachers as well as our students who attended the competition.
It is the third year that we have participated in this prestigious ballet competition.  We have first learned about it two years ago, when we brought five students to the San Diego semifinals, after training them for a short month.  Even with such a short time of training, one out of our five girls won first place, and another one also made it to the top twelve.  Last year, we also had five participating students, and instead of San Diego, we took them to the Los Angeles semifinals, with similar results, third place and another top twelve out of five.
This year we had a team of nine outstanding ballet students who have proved that they really are some of the best dancers in the region.
 Gisele Bethea, who has been our full time student only since August, has proved that her natural talent paired with hard work and dedication can pay off very quickly.  Gisele won first place in both classical and contemporary categories for the junior division. Congratulations, Gisele!
Leanne Fromm has also made it to the finals for the third year in a row, placing third in the classical junior division.  She also made it to top twelve with her contemporary solo choreographed by our own Martin Naugle.
Alexa DiMuro, our full time student only for the past month has also proven that hard work can pay off quickly. She made it to the top twelve in the precompetitive classical division.
 Esther Huszar, competing her second year with us, has grown as a dancer, receiving higher scores this time than last year.  We are very proud of you, Esther and happy to see you continue to grow as a dancer!
Mia Rosin, Julianna Kassenbrock, Skyler White, Shea McAdoo and Brooke Read also received high scores, though they did not make it to the finals.  Neverthless, their beautiful performances and high scores helped our school get the Outstanding School Award.
We are very proud of all our girls, and wish to thank them all for their hard work and dedication.  A school is as good as its students, not only teachers.  We are very fortunate to have a team of dedicated, passionate dancers, whose work ethic and talent matches that of their teachers.  Thank you to all our wonderful dancers!
