Brandon Carpio discovered his love of ballet just three years ago.  Since then, he has excelled dramatically in all areas of dance.  Most recently, he placed first in Classical Ballet and second in Contemporary at the 2010 YAGP Semifinals Orlando! Brandon is further developing his dance skills this summer by attending a six-week intensive camp via a scholarship at the New York American Ballet Theater. He was named a finalist to play the title role in the Broadway show "Billy Elliot," and his speech "Openmindedness to Ballet" earned a place as a finalist in the 4-H Tropicana Speech Contest.
