Malaya and Mayumi Tolentino have a passion for dance. They have been dancing with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School since the ages of 3 and 8, respectively, and have since joined the RWB School’s Dance Ensemble and Intensive Training Program.

“What I love about dance is how fun it is,” says Malaya. “I especially loved dancing in the RWB’s Nutcracker – it’s so cool performing alongside the Company dancers and watching them rehearse.”

Having recently completed Dance Intensive, a dynamic summer training opportunity for dancers ages 10-18, both Malaya and Mayumi have credited the incredible staff at the RWB for helping them grow as young artists.

“The RWB School has teachers who encourage and provide tremendous support in helping me achieve my dance dreams,” chimes in Mayumi. “I am very thankful knowing that I am being challenged and am improving.”
