As a former student of Canada’s National Ballet Company, Cara’s love for ballet began at an early age which kick-started her career as a dancer. While she experienced many successes, Cara wanted to explore other interests and avenues, one of them being, ‘how are things built’, which led her to EllisDon.Known for its student-centred teaching style, Canada’s National Ballet Company is a place that encourages students to be curious about other things in life and develop their own art.
