FROM STUDENT TO STAR!
"Joining McNicol Ballet Collective as their first-ever apprentice dancer was a dream come true for me. The Devotions UK tour was an incredible experience that fueled my passion even more. Now, as I embark on this new chapter with Sarasota Ballet in the, USA, I'm grateful for McNicol Ballet Collective's unwavering support and belief in me," said Josh.
His talent and dedication stood out to us from the moment we met him at Unbound Dance Day. Offering him the opportunity to join us as our inaugural apprentice dancer was an easy decision. Watching him grow and thrive during the Devotions UK tour was truly inspiring.
We are immensely proud to have played a part in his development as a professional dancer. His success is a testament to his hard work and passion, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
