At select auditions, dancers will have the incredible opportunity to learn from Joseph Morrissey, an internationally acclaimed dancer and educator. Morrissey brings a wealth of experience, having danced with the Bavarian State Ballet, Boston Ballet, and served as Director of Artistic Planning and Touring for The Hong Kong Ballet.
