“It’s always been
ballet,” Caroline explains, as if the idea of another type of dance being her
favorite is completely outlandish. Caroline
Hurd started taking ballet when she was only 5-years-old. The studio she attended offered an extremely limited
selection of classes. Luckily, ballet
was the perfect fit!
She’s always loved that ballet tells a beautiful and
entertaining story, which is why performing is so much fun for her. In fact, Caroline admits that she often tears
up watching a ballet performance. And
sometimes she develops a leg twitch because she’s fighting the urge to jump on
the stage and start dancing, too. If it
weren’t for all of the discipline she’s learned from dance, maybe she would!
Caroline has taken many dance classes while attending the University
of Idaho, but her major is in Psychology. Her favorite aspect of Moscow is the UI campus
and the local art scene, particularly the Farmer’s Market and Jazz Festival. During her free time, Caroline enjoys cooking,
attending fitness classes, and playing with her two bunnies. After Caroline graduates in December, she will
take a little time off to study for the MCATs and apply to Podiatry Schools.
The best way for Caroline to stay connected to dance during college was to teach for Festival Dance! Caroline has a special position teaching ballet in Lapwai in Nez Perce County, Idaho. She praises her students for their dedication and eagerness to learn ballet. Caroline would like to let all young dancers know that they will really appreciate having a strong dance background when they are her age.
Caroline is revving up to teach more dance at Festival
Dance’s Moscow Academy this summer. All
of you little Ballet Princesses and Country Kidz better get ready for some
major fun and dancing with Caroline this June!
