Izzy Urbano is from Riverside, California, where she began her dance training at the Riverside Ballet Arts. At age 15, she moved to Boston to continue her training with the Boston Ballet School under the direction of Margaret Tracey. She studied for three years with the school, performing in company and school productions by Mikko Nissinen, Kathleen Mitchell, and Ja’ Malik.
