Rehearsals are going well
There isn’t too much to do, though
The Wilis don’t come in until Act Two
I don’t even get to double as a townsperson
Oh well
Daniel’s given us some more details
On our trip to Haiti
We are leaving January 8th
And staying for just over a week
We will travel from village to village
Performing Giselle
I am beyond excited
Elated
Before I joined this company
I had hardly been out of my hometown
Now, I’ve travelled to
Russia, Japan, Canada, Brazil, France
But this was an opportunity
To spread something I love
To people who don’t even know what ballet is
It is a chance to show what I’m made of
And to help others
