Malia Moses was awarded the
Kathryn Anderson Scholarship in 2011

The scholarship, created to honor Commonwealth Ballet's co-founder, Kathryn Anderson, is given annually to the graduating senior from the Company who has:

  • demonstrated excellence in ballet,
  • exhibited professionalism on and off the stage,
  • served as a positive role model for peers, younger dancers and the community, and
  • maintained a healthy self image in both mind and body.

"Commonwealth Ballet has played a hugely significant role in my life through middle school and high school...I am extremely grateful for all the opportunities I have been afforded while a performing member...We have all been greatly influenced by the brilliant teaching and mentoring of Kathryn Anderson and her legacy." - Malia Moses
