While you are waiting for my next post, here’s a great one to read by Nichelle Strzepek at Dance Advantage. She interviewed 20-year-old Garrett Smith, a recent graduate of Houston Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy, who already is an accomplished performer and choreographer as well as a member of Houston Ballet II, Houston Ballet’s pre-professional company. He’s also signed a contract with Houston Ballet for the 2009-1010 season! To read the blog post, click here.
Then check back in a few days for the final part of my interview with Duncan Cooper.
Thanks, Nina! 🙂
Garrett was super nice to talk with me and his drive and ambition are certainly inspiring! The HB Academy is turning out some fine dancers and the company is top-notch. Be sure to check them out if you’re ever in Houston! The Academy has a summer intensive each year, too – http://www.houstonballet.org/Academy/2009_Summer_Intensive_Program
