Cintia Borges Carreras, 22nd July

El ingenio coreográfico de Scarlett encandila a los amantes de la danza. El cisne de Marianela Núñez y la elegancia aristocrática de Vadim Muntagirov trascienden lo técnico para contar desde la emoción.

Ivy Lin's love of ballet began in high school when at the school dance she quickly realized she had two left feet. One always admires things one cannot do, and so Ivy began to attend dance performances to marvel at the grace and beauty of bodies in motion. Ivy's day job is a biology teacher and after a long day in the classroom she loves to unwind by watching dance. She also enjoys theater, opera, pop and classical music.
