Q&A with Corps Member Juliet Prine
Describe your perfect day off. I love to make the most of my days off! In the summer, I usually try to get out of the city to hike or camp for a couple hours/overnight. I also love spending days on the lake (so does my dog), and trying new restaurants. On a day off in the winter, you can find me skiing at Alpental or Crystal!
Q&A with Soloist Christian Poppe
What is the best advice that you've ever received? To consider what the intention is of the choreography. It is important to remember what it is you are trying to convey instead of it merely being a series of steps.

Q&A with Corps Member Ginabel Peterson
If you were not a dancer, is there an alternate career path you would have chosen? If I wasn’t a dancer, I would’ve either tried to become a lawyer or model.

What are you looking forward to dancing this season? The Seasons’ Canon is an incredible work! Everyone is in it, and I’m so thrilled to be dancing with everyone onstage in that capacity.
Q&A with Corps Member Noah Martzall
If you were not a dancer, Is there an alternate career path you would have chosen? If I wasn’t a dancer, I would have chosen to be a hairdresser! I love to style, cut, and color hair. It’s fun to change someone’s hair and see how much confidence it can give them!

Q&A with Corps Member Audrey Malek
What is one role that holds special significance for you? Performing Myrtha in Giselle at my previous ballet company. I hope that I'll get to do it with PNB one day!
Q&A with Corps Member Clara Ruf Maldonado
Describe your perfect day off. I’m usually pretty exhausted from the week, so I tend not to go far from home on my rest days. I would consider a perfect off day to be a quiet night in cooking to some tunes over a glass of wine with fellow dancer Ryan Cardea while we get harassed by my beagle, Bob.
