East Lyme — Students at the Eastern Connecticut Ballet got some pointers from the pros Wednesday.
The students were participating in the school's Senior Workshop with guest artists Amanda Edge, a former New York City Ballet dancer, and Donna Michelle Vaughn, a Broadway dancer currently performing in "The Lion King."
The programs for dancers ages 12 and up included a full day with the guest artists and ECB faculty. The summer program continues next week with the Senior Intensive.
