This is good news for the next generation of dancers, as they seek to gain a ‘toe-hold,’ in this intensely competitive and rewarding field. Today we speak with Eugenia O’Brien, founder of Portland Ballet and Portland School of Ballet, and 16 year-old ballerina Olivia Bartlett of the CORPS program at the Portland School of Ballet, about their experience with this beautiful art form.
