"Before I decided to go professional, I fully applied to colleges and had a lot of doubt about what path I wanted to take; Pursue a career in ballet or study something normal at a university. But here I am, seven seasons with the Washington Ballet." -Andrea Allmon.
Andrea has dedicated her life to her passion, ballet. After six years of hard work and dedication, Andrea has been promoted to Company Dancer at the Washington Ballet. As a company dancer, she is expected to perform in 36 out of 40 shows during The Nutcracker season. Executing her dances perfectly is her full-time job, and the little mistakes nobody sees can be detrimental to her career. She is expected to perform with injuries and aches while still looking effortless. Andrea is a dedicated dancer who takes her job as seriously as possible. She enjoys her exhausting schedule, but it sometimes gets the best of her. For as many highs and lows, as she may have during the rehearsal process, she always looks forward to one thing, performing on stage.
