Annie has also received summer acceptances with partial scholarships to the Royal Ballet, Houston Ballet, Boston Ballet, and Ellison Ballet. Most recently, Annie was invited to perform as a guest artist in Philadelphia Ballet’s 2022 spring season productions of Swan Lake and Balanchine Program by artistic director, Angel Corella. This will be Annie’s first year with BalletMet 2, and she is excited to continue her professional career.
