Indianapolis Ballet

✨ Leadership Update ✨

As Indianapolis Ballet and Indianapolis School of Ballet look ahead to an exciting new chapter, we are pleased to announce expanded leadership roles for two dedicated team members.

🩰 Emily Nord Womersley will serve as Dean of School, overseeing the student and family experience, school programming, and operations across Indianapolis School of Ballet.

🩰 Meghan McGuire will serve as Manager of Trainee, Pre-Professional, and Summer Intensive Programs, leading key artistic training and student development initiatives.

Together, Emily and Meghan will work alongside Interim Artistic Director Michael Vernon and Executive Director Don Steffy to ensure continued excellence, stability, and opportunity for our students, trainees, and families.

Their passion, expertise, and commitment to dance education have already helped shape countless young artists, and we are excited for all that lies ahead.

Please join us in congratulating Emily and Meghan as they step into these important leadership roles!

What a season it’s been. ✨

To our extraordinary artists, thank you for bringing passion, dedication, and artistry to every moment on stage. You made this season unforgettable.

To our incredible patrons, thank you for showing up, cheering us on, and supporting Indianapolis Ballet through your generosity. Your presence and your gifts make it all possible.

Because of you, we are able to create, perform, educate, and celebrate the art of dance in a community that continues to inspire us every day.

Thank you for being part of the magic. We can’t wait to welcome you back for an exciting 26/27 season ahead.

Enjoy these moments as we celebrate an amazing season together. ✨
