September 1, 2026 · Yolanda Glago · via Pointe Magazine
Lanie Jackson, a dancer with BalletX, has found a refreshing way to unwind after her rigorous ballet rehearsals. While many dancers might choose calming activities like reading or cooking, Jackson opts for the energetic world of swing dance. After a day spent in pointe shoes, she switches to sneakers, leaving behind the structured choreography of ballet for the improvisational spirit of swing.

This transition highlights Jackson's versatility as a performer, allowing her to explore different styles and movements. Her ability to adapt from the disciplined posture of ballet to the relaxed 'bounce' of swing dance speaks to her passion for dance in all its forms. It's a reminder that the world of dance is vast, and there are always new ways to express creativity and joy.
