What did you do on your Winter Break?

Many people ask if the dancers live in Tulsa. The answer is yes. They spend 10 months of the year living and working in Tulsa. But they do get a short winter break and a longer summer break. We asked several dancers what they did for winter break.


I spent my break in Tulsa with close friends and lots of laughs. Joshua Stayton
I went home to Orlando, Florida and spent Christmas with family. On Christmas day we went to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios and it was amazing. I'm such a Harry Potter nerd :) Then, I went to Panama City Beach, Florida to spend New Year’s with my sister. Erin Pritchard

I went on holiday to Japan to visit the country and spend time with some friends .

I went home to the UK to spend time with family and friends. I was really worried that the severe weather might affect my travel arrangements but everything went perfectly and I had a great time. Alex Harrison

I drove 11 hours in snow to Indianapolis with a toddler in the car, spent holidays with my sister, her husband and new baby boy, got the stomach flu along with my daughter and half the family, and missed the New Year’s ball dropping because the satellite lost signal at 11:58pm. But on the flight home I got to sit in first class thanks to a fortunate seating complication! Alexandra Bergman

I visited my family in New York City and had a great time despite the terrible blizzard! Elise Miller

I couldn't go to Colombia this Winter Break because the time was short, so I was a little sad!! But we wanted to go somewhere! So We went to LAS VEGAS for the first time, and It was AMAZING. We shopped and the best part was the "CIRQUE DU SOLEIL" – it was incredible. I really like it - I think this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Diana Gomez

Over the break, I visited my Gramma in Florida, then drove with my family home to Columbia, SC. In Columbia, I did my Gyrotonic trainer update course, so I renewed my certification as a Gyrotonic trainer for two more years. Ballet dancers love Gyrotonic and Miami City Ballet has equipment in their studios...any chance Tulsa Ballet wants to buy the Cobra pulley tower ;)? I'll train anyone for free! Alexandra Christian

I went to Madrid (Spain) to see my boyfriend, my Mum joined us there and also my friends. I eat a lot!! And enjoy being with the people I love. Gwenaelle Poline

I went to Korea to see my family. Usually I go home once a year at summer break, but my family was very happy to see me, even though it was just a few days. I also went to Japan to see my boyfriend. I just relaxed and rested with nice people and good food. I also took a ballet class one time with my boyfriend because I don't want to get out of shape. Soo Youn Cho

I went to the famous Las Vegas, along with Diana, Andres and Rodrigo. It was the first time for all of us. We had a blast! We saw 2 Cirque du Soleil shows ( Zumanity and Le Reve), and they were absolutely outstanding!!!! Ma Cong
