Elliana Chaney was promoted from the pre-professional company where she was featured in many leading roles such as Myrtha in Giselle, the soloist in Joan Rodriquez’s Nos Ostros, and the Azalea Fairy in The Nutcracker - A Tale from the Bayou. She will pursue her academic studies at LSU while performing with us this season.
Leah Cox returns home to Baton Rouge to join the professional level after completing her BFA degree in Dance at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. While at UL, Leah was strongly featured in their many productions, worked with multiple choreographers such as Fabio Liberti and Norbert de la Cruz III, and created choreography of her own.
