Today, a bit of escapism… for the viewer, but also reality as the arts are still with us in this crazy world. And there are still youngsters choosing this as their career, all this hard work for our joy and pleasure.
Take a tea break, grab lunch watching a bit of ballet. I miss seeing these lovelies live so much.
Great work everyone!
Note: the videos will be available tomorrow for re-watch (and probably for a few days more) in case you don’t have time to watch live today đ
Moving swiftly on with more beautiful and artsy things!
Was trying to embed the live video but it won’t work, so please if you want to watch live click on this LINK.
Do join in, even if just to watch 5 min of ballet class. Enchanting and so relaxing đ
