She still remembers me today, and how lucky I am! She congratulated me by message after I have been accepted by the Paris Opera Ballet and recently, she invited me to her master classes in Paris with other famous Etoiles of the Paris Opera such as Claire-marie Osta, Isabelle Guerin and Nicolas le Riche.
Around 5 years ago, after winning in a ballet competition in Hong Kong, I was invited to perform in Hong Kong Ballet's Sleeping Beauty production as a children dancer (as they needed children for the Garland Dance in the second act). It was a new production of Sleeping Beauty and it was the legendary Cynthia Harvey who was the guest choreographer. So I met her there, how wonderful it was to see her in Hong Kong. I still remember that she talked to me at the end asking me if I wanted to become a professional dancer. I was then super shy in front of her......... She still remembers me today, and how lucky I am! She congratulated me by message after I have been accepted by the Paris Opera Ballet and recently, she invited me to her master classes in Paris with other famous Etoiles of the Paris Opera such as Claire-marie Osta, Isabelle Guerin and Nicolas le Riche. I accepted with joy and excitement. And this evening, I was invited to a reception in the main Repetto store near the Opera in honor of Cynthia's foundation in Paris. It feels very nice to see the Etoiles and to talk to other dance students and teachers. I even got some presents from Repetto! How wonderful!!! Thank you so much Cynthia!
