Meet Ms.Lily!

Ms. Lily has been dancing for 19 years, beginning her journey at 6 with her first ballet lesson. Since then, she has evolved into a professional dancer, performing for the last six years across the globe in both ballet and contemporary companies and working as a freelancer. Throughout her career, Ms. Lily has danced as a soloist and principal dancer, portraying iconic roles like Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker. She has also inspired original works created specifically for her. Her training includes time spent at prestigious ballet schools across the country, and she is a proud alumna of the Ballet Mélange Trainee Program, having graduated in Spring 2021.

Ms. Lily advises her students to find one to three personal reasons for dancing this year and write them down. Keeping this list in your dance bag can inspire you on tough days—whether you're struggling with motivation or facing a class out of your comfort zone. This simple reminder of why you dance can help you push through and refocus on your goals.

"You've got this! You all are amazing!" says Ms. Lily.
