These girls all do ballet and say they enjoy just being able yo dance because it is so relaxing. The girls say their favourite ballet is Romeo and Juliet and are looking forward to watching the Cuban dancers in the gala tonight.
It was South Africa’s turn to welcome a galaxy of visiting ballet stars for the International Ballet Gala, at the Teatro in Montecasino, Johannesburg on 9 July 2011. This was the first time ballet was seen on the Teatro stage, and was an exquisite first time it was! Excited ballet enthusiasts could see the incredible talents of Alys Shee (Canada), Brooklyn Mack (USA), Elza Leimane (Latvia) as well as Johannesburg-born Andile Ndlovu. The event had audiences cheering the ballet stars as they set the stage alight with dancing, both sophisticated and powerful. Winkball citizen video reporters Candice and Sharon went to see what all the excitement was about and speak to the enthralled audience. Check out what they had to say.
