Seneca Valley Student To Study At Texas Ballet Theater

Emily McGoey, a Seneca Valley High School junior, will spend her senior year in the Lone Star State.

McGoey will be studying with the professional division of the Texas Ballet Theater. After a successful audition, McGoey was invited to participate in a program that prepares advanced dancers for a professional ballet career.

According to the ballet’s website, students develop artistic excellence by rehearsing and performing classical and contemporary works throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth community. At the discretion of the Artistic Staff, PD students are given opportunities to understudy and-or perform in Texas Ballet Theater productions.

“The professional division program promotes a disciplined work ethic and encourages personal growth and exploration while pushing students beyond their preconceived limitations,” faculty member Charmaine Hunter said. “The ultimate goal of the program is to develop strong, well-trained and well-educated artists, who will realize and achieve their full potential as they pursue professional careers."

McGoey won’t entirely sever her Seneca Valley ties during her senior year. Her academics will be handled through the Seneca Valley Academy of Choice Cyber Program.
