Holly McGrath, 15, Senior Company dancer at Grossi Dance and Performing Arts Academy of Vernon, auditioned for and was awarded a spot in the Joffrey Ballet School's Jazz Summer Intensive in New York City. Founded in 1953 by Robert Joffrey, the Joffrey Ballet School offers select students well rounded and rigorous training in the art. Though this intensive focuses on Jazz and Contemporary dance, Holly will also take daily classes in Ballet, Hip-Hip, Theater Dance and Improvisation all while living in the school's dormitory housing. Holly is very excited to have this opportunity and is thankful for everyone that has supported her in her journey as an aspiring dancer.
