Meet Delaney! She began her dance journey at the age of four with Miss Angela at Classical School of Ballet, where she developed a strong foundation in classical ballet. Around the age of six, she expanded her training to include tap, and later jazz, developing versatility and range as a performer. She began dancing en pointe at the age of eleven, deepening her dedication to classical technique. This year marks Delaney's seventh recital with CSB.

An honors graduate of Trivium High School in Lompoc, Delaney has completed her first year at Allan Hancock College, where she is pursuing a degree in psychology. She continues to balance her academic interests with her lifelong passion for dance, bringing discipline, creativity, and heart to

everything she does.

No Matter what's going on in my life, dance has always been where I feel most like myself. It's where I can let go, work hard, and just be in the moment.

Meet one of our returning dancers! Hi! My name is Emma, and I am a dog trainer. I've been dancing with Classical School of Ballet since the age of three. After a period of not dancing, I just had to return. Now that I'm 24, I've come back to dance. I am very blessed to be able to perform in this year's recital.

Meet Rose! She has been dancing for twelve years, four of those with Miss Angela at CSB. Rose loves dance because it's a calming escape that helps her de-stress and recharge. One of Rose's favorite things about being part of CSB is the welcoming and supportive environment; everyone feels like friends. She is also actively involved in the Saint Joseph High School theater program. Performing on state is something she truly enjoys, and it's another way she gets to be creative and connect with others. In addition to her passion for the performing arts, she enjoys reading and spending time with her friends during her free time.
