look so easy.

New York. She is amazing! She is able communicate many emotions just with her
movements. I think she could become one of the best ballet dancers of all time.

This summer she is going to appear in Swan Lake, which I love. Unfortunately, I
maybe out of the country then. If I’m here, I’m going to get tickets for the first night.
