Life as a Summer Intensive RA
When severe flooding struck Texas last Fourth of July, it created a challenging situation for the students attending Ballet Austin's summer intensive. Resident assistant Whitney Hester found herself in a position where outdoor activities were canceled, and she had to quickly adapt to ensure the students remained engaged and entertained indoors. Hester, along with her fellow RAs, organized various activities to keep spirits high and foster a sense of community among the students during this unexpected crisis.
The experience highlighted the importance of flexibility and creativity in the role of a resident assistant, especially in a dance environment where students are accustomed to a vibrant schedule of classes and rehearsals. Hester's quick thinking and leadership helped maintain a positive atmosphere, demonstrating the resilience and camaraderie that often characterize summer intensives in the ballet community.
