Our first Swan Lake performance was very special in several ways. Firstly because we performed exclusively for school children which meant that the house was full of about 2000 pupils. And also because our new principal dancer Ami Morita was dancing a leading role for the first time in her home country. Together with her handsome and most attentive prince David Moore as well as the whole company, Ami gave a stellar performance which is sure to inspire more than one young girl to follow Ami’s path and become a ballerina.
