My name is Winell Henriquez. I am a 16 year old ballet dancer and train in the Pre-Professional program at the International Ballet Academy in Cary, North Carolina. I began dancing at the age of 4 but, began my serious ballet training at the age of 14. I dance in other styles such as, modern, contemporary, and jazz. My dream is to become a professional ballerina and to also pursue a career in Sports Medicine. I would absolutely love to dance with the American Ballet Theatre, Paris Opera, Royal Ballet, or any other amazing companies.

I had been struggling to find the right pointe shoes for some time but, then I contacted Nikolay who responded right away and referred me to Brooke, who took the time to help me find the perfect pointe shoes. I now wear the Nikolay Victory! These are amazing shoes with comfortable and soft interior. Thank you Nikolay and Releve Dancewear for giving me this opportunity.
