Student Profile
Alexandra Woodburne
Graduation: 2015
Major: Elementary Education
Always up for a challenge, Grand Rapids sophomore Alexandra Woodburne began dancing ballet in high school and quickly fell in love with the precision it required.
“I really like the cleanness of the ballet style,” she says. “Everything needs to be placed just so, especially on pointe. If the angle of your head is off, everything else will be off as well. Because of that challenge, I find it so rewarding. It’s easy to see yourself improving.”
