The Beauty of Dance, Part Three: Chalnessa Eames, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Seattle, WA

Chalnessa Eames is originally from Bellingham, Washington, but she had to go through Canada in part to get to Seattle.

She attended the Pacific Northwest Ballet School's summer course, but her training also took her to the School of Royal Winnipeg Ballet, whose company she joined in 1996. She joined the Pacific Northwest Ballet as a member of the corps de ballet five years later, and she became a soloist in 2007.

She has danced in numerous Balanchine works.
