I met McKinley and Taylor at DanceWorks Indy, an adult centered dance studio in Indianapolis. McKinley and Taylor actually aren't adults, however, and attend the Indianapolis School of Ballet. They dance 6 days a week at school and further their training by regularly taking classes at DanceWorks and elsewhere. It is so inspiring to take class alongside them because they are both so talented, hard working and overall gorgeous dancers.
When I read this entry in Lin-Manuel's work I was sure I wanted to ask these ballerinas to be my featured models.
"Good morning!
Wear sensible shoes as you kick down doors!
Whoooopshh!"
"Good night!
Take off your sensible shoes,
put on your dancin' shoes, you deserve it!"
I am so excited to watch these two continue to grow as dancers and personally learn more from their dedication to their art!
