just below the main company. But she had a hard decision to make: She had already deferred admission to USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences twice during her traineeship, so what should she do now?<\/p>\n<p>When she found out that USC would be holding its fall 2020 courses online, the choice became considerably easier. Schultze decided she could continue to train for \u201cSleeping Beauty\u201d by day and pursue her studies at night and on the weekends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was excited to learn that the classes were virtual, so I could work that into my dance schedule. Because they were online, I was able to do them after the ballet classes,\u201d says Schultze, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/bisc\/\">biological sciences<\/a>\u00a0major.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A born performer<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Originally from Seattle, Schultze started ballet lessons at age 5. Her mom thought they would be a good way to work off some of her extra energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt first I didn\u2019t like it very much, but the first time I performed on stage around 7 or 8, everything completely changed, and I fell in love with performing,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>After Schultze graduated high school, she moved to Salt Lake City to become a trainee with Ballet West. Deferring her enrollment to USC Dornsife twice, she spent the next two years dancing full time. In April 2020, she was promoted to Ballet West II, the next step along the path to joining the main company.<\/p>\n<p>Schultze would like to see a more diverse ballet world, and she credits Ballet West Artistic Director Adam Sklute with being open to those conversations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy father is part Lebanese, and I am very aware of the fact that ballerinas of Middle Eastern descent are very underrepresented in the ballet world,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Working day and night<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Although she loves dancing, Schultze says that she missed academics during her two years as a trainee. She was happy to enroll at USC Dornsife last fall to continue studying.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/GabrielleSchultze_InStoryA-3396.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of woman standing en pointe in ballet shoes, wearing a tutu and a cardinal sweatshirt with USC printed on it.\" width=\"474\" height=\"738\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Balancing her USC Dornsife studies and dance training keeps Gabriella Schultze on her toes. (Photo: Trevor Nielson.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI have a very active brain, so I love having something to come home to that is academic. It\u2019s been great adding studying back into my life. I feel more balanced,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Schultze spent the fall in a COVID \u201cbubble\u201d with her fellow Ballet West II dancers, rehearsing and performing a few productions, including an excerpt from \u201cSleeping Beauty\u201d that was recorded for area public schools.<\/p>\n<p>Dancing from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day and then switching to classes and homework challenged her, Schulze says. She notes that in order to avoid being too tired to dance, she had to schedule her time meticulously.<\/p>\n<p>There were some conflicts, but she and her professors were able to work them out, and she ended up with an A average for the fall semester, she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hardest thing was when quizzes were scheduled for certain times of the day and they were only open for 12 hours or so. The professors were great; they were super accommodating of the situation, and so was Ballet West.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right now, Schultze is unsure how her life after college will proceed. She wants to continue dancing and hopes to be promoted to the main body of Ballet West, but she realizes a dancer\u2019s career is relatively short, ending, at best, around age 40.<\/p>\n<p>As for a possible science career, Schultze is especially interested in genetic research. \u201cI think it\u2019s phenomenal how much we\u2019ve learned since the genome was sequenced just 20 years ago. I\u2019d love to work in genetics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, Schultze will keep dancing, and she is eager for the day she can return to L.A. to come to campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I toured Dornsife during my visit and listened to the students talking about the wide variety of majors and minors, I was sold,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt that this was the place where my unusual background would be celebrated, and that it would allow me to develop both my passion for science and my love for dance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
