The woman who trained me, Maine State Ballet's Artistic Director, Linda MacArthur Miele, started attending SAB at age 11 and was quickly placed in a class called "special class." Others in the small class included Suzanne Farrell, Merrill Ashley, and Paul Mejia to name a few. One special part of being in this class was having Mr. Balanchine come unannounced to teach every so often. Mrs. Miele was later accepted into New York City Ballet when she was 13 years old.
