Elmhurst Ballet Company Class of 2025 Destinations

At Elmhurst, students are at the core of everything we do. We are dedicated to supporting them during their training and continue to care about their futures after they leave. We hope they achieve the careers they have dreamed of pursuing during their time at our school. 

Each year, we eagerly anticipate the final year graduate students of Elmhurst Ballet Company finding their place in the world. Whether they pursue professional dancing, continue their training in a specific dance style they connected with at Elmhurst, move into higher education, or take time to reflect on their next steps, every student's journey is unique and personal. 

We believe that life and success are deeply individual experiences. Sometimes achievements come swiftly, and other times they take longer to manifest. However, with determination and patience, we are confident that all Elmhurst students will lead fulfilling and happy lives. 

The Elmhurst Class of 2025 recently dazzled audiences in Birmingham and London, and we are certain they will continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide, no matter where their paths may lead.
