March Student Spotlight – Lexie G!

Lexie is a one of a kind student. She is not only active (understatement) here at the studio but she is pursuing her dream wherever she can. But here at GSD she is taking as many classes as she can, and believe me it shows! She is a blessing to me as a student teacher for the younger dancers in Apprentice Ballet and just an overall joy to teach, work with an be around period. It is hard for me to believe this young woman we see now after all these years of knowing her. We wish her the absolute best of luck in her career…but she won’t need much luck she has true talent and tenacity. Go get ’em Lexie! Lots of love~ Ms. Nina ( Artistic Director)
