On today’s episode of Conversations On Dance, we are joined by principal ballerina with the Royal Danish Ballet, Holly Dorger. Holly shares her experience growing up as a highland dancer, accepting a contract with Royal Danish straight out of SAB, the change in style and technique that accompanied her new job and how she continues to grow and adapt in full length roles she revisits. If you are in the Copenhagen area, you can catch Holly’s performance as Odette/Odile in ‘Swan Lake’ this coming March.

• In 2020, Boston Ballet School entered a partnership with Walnut Hill School for the Arts, an independent boarding school and day school for high-school-aged artists, to create a more well-rounded artistic, academic, and residential experience for our pre-professional students. Boston Ballet School’s Professional Division at Walnut Hill offers Boston Ballet School’s world-renowned dance instruction in conjunction with Walnut Hill’s best-in-class college preparatory academic and rich residential program. Students receive an immersive and intensive educational experience on Walnut Hill’s scenic and safe campus in Natick, Massachusetts, a small New England town just outside the cultural hub of Boston. The entire program – from classes, to studio, to stage – is designed for young artists. The joint program is led by Boston Ballet’s Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen, Interim Director of Dance Miranda Weese, and internationally renowned BBS faculty. Together, Walnut Hill School for the Arts and Boston Ballet School oversee student life, academics, admissions, financial aid, scholarships, dance instruction, performances, choreography, music direction, recruitment, and career development. The collaboration truly supports Boston Ballet’s commitment to developing future dance artists in addition to providing students with a first-class academic program and a vibrant residential community. bostonballet.org
