Rehm came to Smuin Ballet from Ballet Memphis, which is about the same size. “It’s wonderful, because you get to do so much more and share so many different sides of yourself that you wouldn’t necessarily get to in a larger company. In a smaller company, it’s easier to see who I am and what my value is.”. Rehm enjoyed interpreting the Shins’ tunes. “Trey’s piece, particularly, can be deeply personal. There isn’t a set narrative. But that gives all of us the opportunity to let it mean anything to us. The steps are given to you. Trey worked with us to make sure we were doing them the best we possibly could.

In one session on Saturday morning, young women and girls packed into an auditorium to hear from a panel of women business owners, where they could ask them questions about their own path as an entrepreneur and then get one-on-one career mentoring.
