Wise Ballet and Music Academy

✨Meet the Dancer✨
Sarah is 17 years old and will be a Senior this fall. This will be her 15th year dancing at WBMA. In this year’s production of Cinderella Sarah will grace the stage as the Fairy Godmother. Some favorite past roles include the Kissy Doll, Dewdrop, and Snow in our 2025 Nutcracker, a Horse and Rainbow in Emerald City, and Songbird Fairy in Sleeping Beauty. Sarah says ballet has taught her discipline and perseverance, which are both skills that help her succeed in her interests outside of the studio, like beekeeping and agricultural activities.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Join the Fairy Godmother this weekend, Saturday @ 7pm and Sunday @ 3pm

✨Meet the Dancer✨
Emily is 16 years old and has been dancing for 13 years. In this year’s production she will bring the roles of La Row, one of Cinderella’s stepsisters, and the Spring Fairy to life. In previous years you may have seen Emily as the Tinman in Emerald City, the Snow Queen in our 2025 Nutcracker, and the Enchanted Garden Fairy in Sleeping Beauty. She says “Ballet has taught me that building others up and supporting others will never hinder your own chances of success. At Wise Ballet and Music Academy, specifically, each dancer uplifts each other and helps them reach their full potential, rather than tearing them down for their own benefit. This creates a loving and encouraging environment that fosters positive mindsets and constant growth.” Emily carries this mindset in and out of the studio.

Kaiden is 14 years old and will be a Freshman this fall. She brings 8 years of dance experience to the stage as Prunella, one of Cinderella’s stepsisters, and a Fall Attendant. In our 2025 Nutcracker Kaiden danced as the Cat Doll and a Reed Flute. Kaiden says “I love dance because of the community we have at the studio and just dance itself! Dance works its way into my life outside of the studio too! It teaches me to push myself in my everyday life. I love dance so so so much and I’m so blessed to do it!” When she is not at the studio Kaiden enjoys crocheting, taking care of animals, reading, and painting.
