Magnolia Rogers began her dance training at a young age in her hometown, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at Susquehanna Dance Center under director Shari Vegso. She performed with COBALT Dance Company, a pre-professional company for 10 years where she performed many pieces choreographed by Shari Vegso. While dancing with COBALT, Magnolia had the opportunity to attend various summer intensives including The Royal Danish Ballet, American Ballet Theater NY, Philadelphia Ballet, and BalletX. At age 17, Magnolia attended Pennsylvania Ballet Academy where she trained with former San Francisco Ballet principals Vanessa Zahorian and Davit Karapetyan. There, she had the opportunity to perform various ballets, as well as Balanchine’s Tarantella. After 2 years, Magnolia was offered a trainee position with Philadelphia Ballet where she spent one year furthering her dance training. Magnolia decided to spend another year in Philadelphia training at Koresh Dance Company where she was discovered by Jim Bunting. Magnolia has performed several of Jim’s works at the Koresh showcases. Magnolia is thrilled to dance her first season with Luna alongside so many wonderful artists.
