Continuing the dream – Red Deer dancer returning to Royal Winnipeg Ballet School
After being selected to attend the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School in the fall of 2016, Ainsley Nivens has proven herself to instructors and will be returning this September.
Nivens was one of only 70 students selected to attend for the full school year, and one of only 10 in her age group.
“It was so amazing, it was even more than I could have imagined. It was such a good experience and I grew a lot as a dancer and as a person,” said Nivens.
She attended the summer program for all of this past July and is home for just one month before returning heading back. She added that as a full-year student staying for the month of July, they act as mentors and instructors work to see if students they’re looking to accept are a good fit or not.
