This is Milner's second season with the company, but she has been dancing at The Georgia Ballet since 2008. Milner began dancing just before she turned three and joined The School of The Georgia Ballet when her family moved to GA at age 5. Milner became a part of The Georgia Ballet Conservatory Program in 2018 and graduated from the school in 2020. Milner has danced in numerous productions with the company such as Sleepy Hollow, The Nutcracker, and Coppelia. She has also attended summer intensives at Walnut Hill School for the Arts, University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and Nashville Ballet. After her summer in Nashville, she was offered a spot in Nashville Ballet's Professional Training Division. Now, Milner is a full-time student at Kennesaw State University as well as a company trainee with The Georgia Ballet. She is very excited and grateful to be a part of The Georgia Ballet.
