Meet Georgia!
This is Georgia’s 4th year in company and she dances with the Corps de Ballet. Her favorite role with NWDT throughout the years has been Snow Queen in “A Nutcracker Tea.”
A senior this year, Georgia’s favorite memories have been the dances that include the entire company as a corps, (i.e. Elements, Waltz of the Flowers/Snowflakes). “Dancing is already so fulfilling, but doing so with such amazing people has truly made it so much better.”
When she is not dancing, Georgia enjoys drawing and being outside!
Bravo, Georgia!
