Terpsichore Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am very grateful to Janet McNulty for permission to link this article to my post in Terpsichore. Yesterday the outstanding young dancer Michaela DePrince gave a masterclass at Danceworks' studios in Balderton Street. The general manager of Danceworks, Lesley Osman, very kindly sent me some lovely photos of the class with permission to reproduce them in my blog. She also arranged for one of the students, Ciara Sturrock, to write an account of her experience of that class. I have incorporated both into an article entitled Michaela's Masterclass which you can read at http://jelterps.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/michaelas-masterclass.html I am very grateful to both Lesley and Ciara for those materials, I saw DePrince in Cool Britannia on 27 June 2015 and reviewed the show in Dutch National Ballet's Cool Britannia. I look forward to seeing her dance in Wheeldon's Cinderella on Saturday and at the opening gala of the Dutch ballet season in Amsterdam on 8 Sept. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanprincess Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I was there too, in the black lace-sleeved leotard. Michaela is such an inspiration, it was wonderful! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanprincess Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yes I did, it was amazing!!!! It all makes me even more excited to go to Ballet West; it felt completely, wonderfully surreal to go shopping in London yesterday for my Ballet West uniform 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
