Following a Dream Across International Boundaries

❝ Ballet incorporates in a human medium the other great forms of art.  The stage, set, costumes, music and lighting are only a frame for the choreographer.  Master teachers sculpt the body into a finely crafted instrument to achieve harmony, unity of mind, body and soul, disciplined but malleable, a living canvas on which the choreographer can paint the full spectrum of life.  Ballet touches within all of us a reservoir of shared human experience and capacity for understanding, where together, we are united as one soul, sharing hopes, dreams, laughter or tears, transcending barriers of language, politics, culture and country.
