  • Thank you

    Thank you Isabella so much! I’m almost 52 years old Russian woman living in Finland. Started ballet 6 years ago with one week class and now I’m crazy about it. I try my best and know what I want to come as good as I can, just for myself. Your podcast is great and I’m finding a new useful information every time. I know Suvi by the way, she is a amazing teacher! Thank you и спасибо большое!
