In the world of classical ballet there are only a handful of story ballets, so getting a new one is cause for excitement.

When I grow up I am going to be a ballerina. I will be in Giselle. It will be so much fun being a ballerina.

Even if I had nothing to do with the Canada Council, I'd be praying for it.

Like everyone else, I want to go on dancing forever, but I know the day is going to come when I will have to be doing something else.

There's nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life.
