Chelsy Meiss went a long way to find her place in ballet. Though she dances for the National Ballet of Canada, she's originally from Melbourne, and I ain't talking about a small town in Florida.
Yes, she's from Melbourne, Australia. She trained there as a student at the Victorian College of The Arts and at the Australian Ballet School before making her way to the Great White North. Having joined the National Ballet of Canada in 2008, she became a first soloist in 2015.
Ms. Meiss has danced some quite prestigious roles as a member of Canada's national ballet company, such as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, the Snow Queen in The Nutcracker, the Queen of Hearts in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire. Her other credits include Giselle, The Winter’s Tale, Don Quixote, and In The Upper Room.
Citing another one of Ms. Meiss's performances, a role in The Seagull, the Ottawa Citizen declared her to be someone to watch in the National Ballet of Canada. So this wonder from Down Under has clearly left an impression on America's neighbors to the north.
