RUBY student invited to competition finals
|
|
Radford University Ballet Youth (RUBY) had a student invited to the Youth America Grand Prix finals, a large international ballet competition.
RUBY was co-founded by College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) then Department of Dance Chair and current CVPA Dean Margaret Devaney and Associate Professor of Dance Inessa Plekhanova in 2006. It began as a way to properly train young dancers in Radford’s production of the “Nutcracker,” but it quickly evolved into a children’s program that includes creative movement, jazz, tap and advanced ballet. RUBY participants are given the opportunity to participate in Radford University Ballet Theatre productions, such as “The Nutcracker” and “An Evening of Ballet.”

Radford University student Anna Bedwell was offered a full-time internship this summer at Southwest Airlines’ headquarters in Dallas.
Bedwell’s interior design internship at Southwest Airlines covers a variety of areas. She will be helping re-vamp their headquarters and the ambiance of their boarding areas in airports. Southwest is also building a sky-bridge to connect two of their buildings in their Dallas headquarters.
“They have the preliminary engineering done for that already, so I’ll be helping pick the materials, figuring out window placements and the finishes for the bridge,” she said. “I’ll also be traveling to airports to do field measurements for the boarding area renovations.”
