    WLSA Presents: The Art of Balance with Professor Thorn Join WLSA and Professor Thorn for an afternoon of classical ballet at Barriskill Studios as a gentle exploration of balance-in movement, in mind, and in life. Through an introduction to ballet course ballet, we will reflect on how ballet invokes the skills we need to navigate the balance between law school, personal life, and routine. No prior dance experience required-just an openness to moving with intention and finding equilibrium. We will be going to Bull and Bean afterwards with Professor Thorn to discuss her career. This event will be limited to the 20 students. Sign-up details will be circulated in the WLSA Newsletter. Please reach out to Alix Basden (alix.basden@duke.edu) and Clara Calavia Sarnago (clara.calaviasarnago@duke.edu) for any questions!
