We are so proud to celebrate one of our own, Fion, whose hard work and artistry have truly shined throughout the 2025–2026 competition season.
This year has been filled with remarkable accomplishments that reflect not only talent, but discipline, resilience, and a deep love for dance.
At the YAGP Semi-Final in Nashville (February 2026), Fion placed in the Top 12 for Contemporary and Top 24 for Classical Ballet in the Senior Division—an incredible achievement on a national stage. From this performance, Fion received multiple prestigious opportunities, including:
- Acceptance into the UNCSA Summer Dance Ballet Program, along with a recommendation for their year-round program
- Invitation to the Alonzo King LINES Ballet Pre-Professional Summer Intensive
- Invitation to the Contemporary Masters NYC Summer Intensive
Earlier in the season, Fion also competed at the ADC/IBC Semi-Final in Dallas (January 2026), placing in the Top 25 for both Contemporary and Classical Ballet in the Senior Division. These performances led to additional opportunities, including:
- Acceptance into the Washington Ballet Summer Intensive
- Invitations to the BalletMet Summer Intensive, Partnering Intensive, and Company Experience
In October 2025, Fion was also accepted into UNCSA and awarded a $10,000 scholarship toward their year-round program through the Fonteyn competition.
More Than Awards
While these accomplishments are impressive, what stands out most is Fion’s commitment to growth, artistry, and showing up every day with purpose. These opportunities are a reflection of years of consistent effort and passion for the craft.
We are honored to be part of Fion’s journey and can’t wait to see what’s next.
✨ Keep going, Fion—we’re cheering you on every step of the way.
