Katie Rose was on the move in New York City this summer studying at the Joffrey Ballet School founded by the late Robert Joffrey in 1953. While attending the Summer Intensive Katie was exposed to New York’s unparalleled dance community. … ” My favorite teachers were Brian Mc Sween and Francesca Corkle” says Rose. “They would stay after class to give you help when needed. Individual training is sometimes difficult in a large summer school environment but the Joffrey Ballet was different. I would definitely recommend this program and would love to return next year.” Katie is the daughter of Larry and Laura Faircloth of Martinsburg. She is a Junior at Martinsburg High School and is the reigning Miss Jefferson County Outstanding Teen. Way to go Katie!
