Teenage dancer following her dream
Emily McGoey started dancing at an early age and knew by the time she was 12 what she wanted to do when she grew up. Now she is making that dream a reality.
The Seneca Valley High School junior was accepted into the professional division of the Texas Ballet Theater, where she will spend her senior year preparing for a career as a professional dancer.
“I'm excited because it's time,” Emily said.
The professional division at the Texas Ballet Theater, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, is the step before launching a career with a professional ballet company.
While many dancers in the professional division have graduated from high school already, Emily will have to make sure she keeps up with her schoolwork while also going through the rigorous training at the theater.
She'll live in an apartment with a roommate while finishing high school online through the Seneca Valley Academy of Choice cyber program.
