Frances Cole began teaching at Montana Ballet Company in January 2016, following several years of serving as a teacher’s assistant.  Born and raised in Bozeman, Ms. Cole has been dancing since the age of five.  At 12, she began to dance at MBC in order to study ballet more seriously. She has danced in numerous productions, including The Nutcracker, Carnival of the Animals, Hansel and Gretel, Great Ballet Classics, and others.  In addition to classical ballet, she has received training in jazz, modern, contemporary, Irish, Charleston, and swing dancing.

Ms. Cole is currently a student at Montana State University studying Pre-Medicine and the History of Science.  She is thrilled to be teaching this year at MBC.
