Alumni News: Jackson Smith Leishman at the Paris Opera Ballet πππ
We are so proud of @jacksonsmithleishman who has accepted a two year contract as a founding member of the Paris Opera Ballet Junior Company!!
Jackson trained at ABDA from 2017-2021, during which time he competed at the YAGP New York Finals and the prestigious Prix de Lausanne. He completed his training at the Royal Ballet School in London, graduating this year, before moving to Paris to continue living the dream!
We loved having Jackson visit us and take class last month back in the studio - what a treat! β€οΈπ
