Evelyn Sutherland – Soroptimist Woman of the Year Nominee

Evelyn Sutherland is the graceful force behind Balancé Dance Studio, bringing classical ballet to Eastern Southland and inspiring dancers of all ages.

Before the awards night, we chatted about what led her to open her studio, the journey of preparing 28 students for international exams, and what ballet has taught her beyond the barre.

Plus, Evelyn takes on some fun hypotheticals—like who she’d invite to a Gore dinner party and whose life she’d swap with for a day.
