McKenna Ulbrick was born in Reston, VA and began training in ballet at the age of 3. Training at Skye Ballet Center under Jody and Allen Schissler, she competed at the YAGP Finals where she received a scholarship to attend The Rock School for Dance Education. After two formative years under Bo and Stephanie Spassoff and receiving coaching from Telmo Moreira and Natalya Zeiger, McKenna received a scholarship to attend San Francisco Ballet School led by Patrick Armand. While there, she enjoyed the expertise and passion of her teachers. McKenna attended The Royal Ballet School Summer Session and was then a trainee with The Washington Ballet under Xiomara Reyes and Rinat Imaev where she performed in The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker with the company. She also performed in trainee performances as 3rd shade in La Bayadere pas de trois, La Esmeralda soloist, and The Queen of Dryads, Kitri's friend, and Bridesmaid in Don Quixote. Last season, McKenna enjoyed dancing with Grand Rapids Ballet as a trainee. She performed in various programs such as Septime Webre's Peter Pan, Val Caniparoli's The Nutcracker, and Jumpstart, where she choreographed and performed in a number of pieces. McKenna is thrilled to be joining Ballet Arkansas.
