Eden Arrington, 14 HSA Prep Dance Student

Eden Arrington performed as an ensemble member of the Metropolitan Opera’s “Porgy and Bess,” the American operatic masterpiece, focusing on the joys and struggles of a black neighborhood in Charleston, South Carolina in the early 20th century. Eden’s dance talents also landed her a role as Bailey in “Sugar Plum Twist,” a Hallmark Christmas movie centering around a Latina ballerina who is encouraged to bring her Latin dance training to her ballet.
