Really I’m so excited for this new season and I am so so so happy that you were putting on Giselle. It is my favourite ballet and I can’t wait to see it in November and hopefully I can see Swan Lake too in March. Thank you so much for all that you do, I’m taking out ballet beginner classes your workshop with Instudio and I’m loving my new my teacher and I’m learning so much in ballet. It’s such a beautiful art form. Thank you. Take care.
