MJL Ballet attends YAGP FInals

In March, Grace Batterman competed at YAGP Chicago Semi Final and received  3rd place. Later she received an invitation to compete at YAGP Finals in Tampa, Florida where the best talent from around the world compete. She was 1 of 5 students in the Pre-Competitive classical division from Illinois. While at finals Grace received a scholarship to Alberta Ballet School (Canada)


At the start of the season, Grace told us all of her goals and in less than a year training with us, Grace surpassed all of them! We are so proud of her!
