She is extremely flexible, for one. The Rock faculty worked with me on it. While Sisk may have some areas she needs to work on, her first year as a Ballet West company member has been an auspicious one.
She will be promoted to demi-soloist next season. After months of practicing in a cramped space at home, young dancers have dreamed of training in a spacious, airy studio. And when the facilities are as resplendent as the brand-new dance center at Michigan's Interlochen Center for the Arts, everyday technique class is to be savored. The recently renovated and vastly expanded 26,square-foot Dance Center at Interlochen is now a world-class facility on par with those of premier conservatories and professional companies.
Joseph Morrissey, Interlochen's director of dance, says a lot of careful thought went into the architecture: "This could not just be a building that dance is going to go into. This is a building that is made for dance. The northern section's three bright, cavernous studios are a dream, boasting foot ceilings and an uninterrupted space that is devoid of columns—a luxury for studios of this size.
Additionally, each studio features eight-foot-tall windows looking out onto Green Lake and beautiful Michigan woods. In addition to the breathtaking aesthetics, the new studios feature sprung marley floors, professional lighting grids, state-of-the-art sound systems, large-screen televisions for virtual guest artists and sophisticated climate control.
Interlochen's upgrade doesn't stop at the studios; the school renovated its whole dance center. The Nancy Hoagland Wing is a central hub for student dancers, with modern locker rooms with showers and a comfortable lounge to rest and work in between classes.
With multiple studios and abundant space, all Academy and summer Arts Camp programs now operate from this central location, with the ability to run separate rehearsals and classes simultaneously.
Ava Blain, Interlochen Arts Academy third-year student, knew she wanted to prioritize her dance training alongside her high school education.
They know you are devoted to your art, and work to integrate academics harmoniously.
