Lake Monticello Ballerina En Pointe Portraits in Fluvanna

This graceful Lake Monticello tween has been dancing since age two and longing to be en pointe for as long as she can remember. She has been pushing herself, striving towards that goal by honing her technique and building her strength…and her hard work paid off: she passed her pointe assessment and is on cloud nine as the dance semester starts up this fall!

“Classical ballet dancers dance on pointe because they’re simultaneously touching the earth and reaching up to the skies.” -Paulo Coelho
