Corps de Ballet

Ilona Halloran-Rojas

Ilona Halloran-Rojas was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and began her training with Miami City Ballet School at the age of 6, in the Children’s Division. She then progressed through the Student Division, under Darleen Callaghan and later Arantxa Ochoa, and into the Pre-Professional Division in 2021. For much of her time at MCBS, Ilona trained on scholarship and also attended summers at the Paris Opera Ballet School and the School of American Ballet.

During her time as a Pre-Professional, she performed works by resident choreographer Durante Verzola and was given the opportunity to perform with the company in several works by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and Alexei Ratmansky. She was awarded her apprenticeship for the 2025/2026 season and was honored to be part of the world premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s Roses from the South: Three Waltzes for Toby as well as works by other incredible choreographers, including Justin Peck and Twyla Tharp. 

Ilona joined MCB as a Corps member in 2026.
