Kristina Aubuchon: A student of Patzius for 11 years.  At the tender age of 15 this exceptional ballerina is already making professional strides.  She has received the honor of been chosen by American Ballet Theatre to be a National Scholar where she attends their ballet intensive on scholarship each year along with a stipend.  In 2008, Kristina won the silver metal at the Youth America Grand Prix semi-finals ballet competition.  She has received numerous other ballet scholarships to some very prestigious schools  including San Francisco Ballet, Houston Ballet, and her latest, Harid Conservitory.  Harid is one of the hardest to get in schools as they only accept professional quality students.  After attending Harid summer intensive, the staff was so taken by her flawless technique and artistry, that they offered her a full scholarship to attend  their school along with free room and board.  Congratulations!  Kristina will still take class at Patzius periodically throughout the year.
