Happy HAPPY birthday to Phoebe Magna! She has been dancing professionally for over 13 years and made her Ballet Memphis debut in the premiere of Steven McMahon’s Dracula in 2022.

💀 is her most used emoji, and she loves the delicious and creative menu in Cooper Young.

She wants to give a big shoutout to Crystal’s Body Shop! Crystal Brothers (the LEGEND and former Ballet Memphis artist) has greatly helped her dancing through Structural Integration!  

When asked what keeps you motivated and disciplined? Phoebe says, “The feeling of freedom in rehearsal and onstage keeps me motivated! Habits can turn into rituals if you give them a chance to develop.”

Phoebe, we hope you have THE BEST day! Enjoy your summer and let us know what you are doing while you’re away! We are so happy to have you in Memphis dancing with us!

Happy HAPPY birthday to Demetrious Reed! This Philadelphia native just completed his third season with Ballet Memphis. We are happy to say he will be around this summer working with our Beyond Technique Summer Intensive.

He is a born performer and says if he were not a dancer, he would still be doing something in entertainment. He says that a place in Memphis that feels like home to him is his apartment with his pet rabbit. We also have another rabbit parent in the company (Anwen Brown)!

When asked three words that describe him, he responded aware, empathetic, caring, and anyone who knows him would surely agree with that.

Turn on some Beyonce or Mariah Carey and sing loud to celebrate! We’re so glad you’re here at Ballet Memphis, Demetrious! Have a wonderful day!
