did you hear of Anastasia Smirnova’s debut as Laurencia alongside Ivan Vasiliev? She only graduated from Vaganova this summer! That’s incredible!

I know! How exciting is that?! I know some people are worried about her going to Mikhailovsky and not Mariinsky, and I hope this makes everyone feel a little better :)
