two. She began training with Ms. Marie-Jose in 2022 at the age of ten and first performed with Danse Etoile in the Wizard of Oz in 2023. Her favorite roles on stage have been playing the fox in Le Petite Prince (2025), the Girl in the Pink Dress in Frida's Wings (2024), and the young Little Mermaid in The Little Mermaid (2024). She is so excited to get to perform again this year with Danse Etoile! Beyond the studio, she enjoys reading fiction novels, corresponding via snail mail, and spending time with her six younger siblings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/1759944775439-4JKIH5O5LU43W4TCVRDV/_Z637567.jpg 2026-2027 Company Hanalyn Massey began her ballet journey at the age of three at Mountain Kids. As her love for ballet grew, she moved to Danse Etoile at the age of six. Hana's favorite parts have been playing the part of the 'young little mermaid' in The Little Mermaid and 'the girl in the pink dress' in Frida. Hana is grateful to now be a part of the Company. Ballet is her greatest passion and she loves her community at Danse Etoile. Hana hopes to pursue a professional career in ballet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/1759852459307-8GHNH73P1OPDOEHHGCVK/Hailey-K4B9503-Oct2018.jpg 2026-2027 Company Leah Reiger joined Danse Etoile in June of 2023. She enjoys the process of constantly refining techniques and skills of ballet, and looks forward to improving this season under Ms. Marie’s guidance. One of the things she loves most about Danse Etoile is the close-knit relationships between the dancers, and the friendly environment that encourages learning. Some of her favorite roles were Little Prince in The Petite Prince, Day of the Dead in Frida’s Wings, and Stained Glass in the Hunchback of Notre Dame. She is grateful for the opportunity to perform this season, and hopes to continue to dance as long as possible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/1759930307313-8JSFONHALSCGC14R9NPE/image-asset.jpeg 2026-2027 Company Adalynn Taylor discovered her love of dance at age 4, inspired by The Nutcracker, and began formal ballet training at Danse Etoile when she was 8. She made her stage debut in 2022 as the Fox in The Snow Queen and quickly developed a passion for performing. Since then, she has appeared in Matisse’s Gardens, Coppélia, The Wizard of Oz, and The Brontë Sisters, before joining the company in 2024. Some of her most memorable company roles include “Water” in The Little Mermaid, “Day of the Dead” and “Cut Hair” in Frida’s Wings, “Lamplighter” in The Little Prince, and “Stained Glass” in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Adalynn treasures the close bonds she has formed with fellow dancers and is grateful for the encouragement they share. Outside the studio, she enjoys art, music, traveling, hiking with her family, and playing with her dog. She is honored to continue with the company this season and looks forward to growing as a dancer while inspiring younger performers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/1760033845924-ZAGQ3OB49UXUQIITOCZZ/_Z637624.jpg 2026-2027 Company Zoe Pajic started dancing at the age of 8 and has had no regrets. She joined Danse Etoile in the fall of 2021 and has enjoyed every moment, from the pain of injuries and soreness to the thrill of opening night for performances. When Zoe isn't dancing, she's drawing, reading, making bracelets, or listening to alternative music. She plays piano, viola, and does voice at Dana V. Music in downtown Louisville. Her favorite pieces to perform were the Skeletons in Frida's Wings, a Mouse in The Wizard of Oz, and a Baobab tree in Le Petit Prince. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/1760033672507-OD5J8X8XODBGYB4IHAG6/_Z637614.jpg 2026-2027 Company Hailey Hammond (Apprentice Company) began taking ballet classes just before her third birthday. She started training with Miss Marie in the fall of 2022 and has loved every moment spent in the studio since. Hailey is most excited to be an apprentice member this year with Danse Etoile. She made her stage debut this past June in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, while also completing her first summer intensive. Outside of the studio, she enjoys reading, playing with her puppy, and hanging out with friends. She treasures the friendships she’s built at Danse Etoile, and feels truly at home with her dance family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/1760033662079-SAMMAGSRYTFQ92YPUHYB/_Z637558.jpg 2026-2027 Company https://www.danseetoile.org/dress-code daily 0.75 2026-09-04 https://www.danseetoile.org/testimonials daily 0.75 2026-09-04 https://www.danseetoile.org/connect daily 0.75 2026-09-04 https://www.danseetoile.org/faculty daily 0.75 2026-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/86c22186-e1ba-4d0b-a09c-ebdddca935d7/image.jpeg Faculty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/75218f3a-d713-429f-bc41-d6055ec61f22/image.jpeg Faculty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/9fcb73e9-1853-4c3d-8ecc-91dcfc01aa54/image.jpeg Faculty https://www.danseetoile.org/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/d021b6d2-3887-453d-9d46-886fa10c9df8/Screenshot+2026-10-28+at+1.54.44%E2%80%AFPM.png Pay Tuition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e913aaa5790a5591a639ec/aa96aa09-49c2-4b89-8c97-e193e47e5f69/Screenshot+2026-10-28+at+1.55.46%E2%80%AFPM.png Pay Tuition
