- Wonderful!
With no dance background, what to do when one’s ballet boy leaves home to pursue his dreams in a another state on the other side of the country?
Listen to the real life experiences of those who have gone before, to be inspired and reassured that he won’t starve, he’ll work hard and that it is possible for him to achieve his dreams!
Yay! Many many thanks
