Charanis Family Website

Hi, I’m Maia Charanis and this is my space on the web!

Most of the time my dad posts stuff for me, but I decided to post a few things myself this time.

New Pictures - Beth and Me all dressed up for Emily’s Bat Mitzvah!

I love reading

I enjoy writing

I like Ballet(this is my friend Sara)

This year I am part of the company at my dance school. Although there is a lot of work to it, I am enjoying it. I have rehearsals almost every week, but I get to be in all of the shows the school is performing. Because I’m at the studio so much now, I’ve become closer with the girls who are also part of the company. I think that this is such a great experience for me! This is a flyer for the fall show we put on: Babes flyer

A while ago my dad and I went to see a ballet together. After the show, one of the dancers in the performance took us backstage for a tour. It was amazing! She walked us out onto the stage, and showed us where everyone got ready for the performances. The dancer was really nice, and I met some other dancers too. It has always been a dream at least to be on the stage of the fox. Now that that has happened, I want to be dancing on that stage. It is all so exciting! Here’s a picture of me with two of the dancers.

 I got quoted in the Wall Street Journal:

Young dancers usually don’t start putting on toe shoes until the age of 11 or 12. And even when children are ready for toe shoes, they often suffer through lessons with bloody, blistered toes. "My toes are always sore," says 12-year-old Maia Charanis, who dances four days a week with the Dancer’s Studio/Backstage in Alpharetta, Ga
