Wayne is finalizing plans for a new ballet studio in Asheville, North Carolina! He'll be working with Angie Lynn, a graduate of the prestigious Arts Educational School in London, England and a former professional dancer with numerous European companies, including the Vienna Festival Ballet. Most recently, Angie headed the dance program at the Asheville Arts Center. The new studio should be up and running by the first week in September.
The working name for the new studio is Ballet Conservatory of Asheville (BCA). The Children's Division -- which Angie will direct -- will provide ballet instruction for dancers ages 3 and up. The Pre-Professional Division -- which Wayne will head-up -- will provide high quality, intense ballet instruction for dancers looking to gain acceptance to summer schools, colleges, or other pre-professional ballet programs. Angie and Wayne will teach in both divisions.
BCA will also provide jazz and tap classes for dancers with a serious dance focus. more
