Principal dancer Elsie Shi shines brightly both onstage and off. But what’s her secret? She knows that dancing is much more than form and technique—the real sparkle comes from having a strong moral compass. She fills her heart with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, (and her stomach with Taiwanese bubble tea!) constantly striving to be the best version of herself. Elsie knows that the brightest stars don’t shine to be seen, but to guide others through darkness.
