Prior Lake Teen Performs in Original Ballet at the Cowles Center

Congratulations to Minnesota Connections Academy (MNCA) junior Isabella Rubietta for her performance in The Wall, the Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota’s (TCB), all-new, original full-length rock ballet.

Held at the Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts in Minneapolis, the production brought ballet and Pink Floyd together for the first time. MNCA’s Emily Johnston went to the show. "I'm so proud of her," said Johnston. "It was outstanding." The production was featured on KARE 11 Sunrise. Kare11Sunrise
