The first ballet I saw was Swan Lake by the Australian Ballet Company. I instantly fell in love – with ALL of them, it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I went with my daughter who was then nine years old and she still talks about it. She managed to get Adam Bull’s autograph when he was lining up for a coffee outside the Arts Centre after the show. He was lovely to my daughter and asked if she’d noticed when he got his foot caught in his partner’s dress and nearly fell over!

I would LOVE this prize!

The costumes look truly divine!

Such a shame to miss out!!! :'( if only I knew about this before, such a magnificent night that would be!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!! Have a breath-taking night! :) xx

Amazing ballet. Growing up, I use to watch ballet dancers and thought they were human angels slowly showing us the better way to dance, and I still do.
