Mila DeCola
MILA DECOLA grew up dancing in BalletMet’s Academy program, starting at age four. When she was fifteen, she joined the Trainee Program at BalletMet. While in this program she had the opportunity to perform in multiple productions alongside BalletMet’s company, including Gerard Charles’ The Nutcracker, Edwaard Liang’s Swan Lake, Alice, and Romeo and Juliet, as well as the most recent production of Sleeping Beauty. Mila has also performed in several of George Balanchine’s ballets with the Trainee Program; these include the Demi-soloist role in Walpurgisnacht, Second Violin in Concerto Barocco, the principal role in Divertimento No. 15, and Tarantella. In 2023, she enjoyed training at American Ballet Theatre’s Summer Intensive in New York. Mila is very appreciative of all the opportunities BalletMet has given her and is excited to be joining BalletMet 2 for the 25/26 season!
