1st – Ballet!!

All the 1st classes went to the dance studio in town where “Ballet Ireland” rehearse. We were all amazed when we arrived in the studio, to see the large mirrors and the walls “with holes in them”.
First we had a dance lesson with Stephen. Afterwards we observed “Ballet Ireland” practise for their upcoming performances of “Carmen” and “The Nutcracker”. We were amazed when we saw the girls standing on the tops of their toes and the men lifting them high into the air.
We were very lucky to have an opportunity to talk to some of the dancers afterwards. They answered all of our questions, which included – How long have you been dancing? What is your favourite food? Where do you come from? How many hours a day do you work?
Thank you to Stephen, to Cassie, Jane and all of the other dancers. Good luck with your performances in Draíocht and elsewhere.
