I can’t begin to describe how meaningful this past month and a half has been to me. From meeting a golden group of dancers from all over the country who felt instantly like family, to getting to work with the talented @ckretz92 who brought this fairytale alive, to witnessing the pure love of a family dedicated to honoring the most beautiful soul I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
Raffi, you are so deeply loved and missed. This ballet is a testament to the impact you had on every single person you met and touched in your life. Thank you for never excluding anyone, for greeting me every day with a “hello beautiful” followed by the tightest, warmest hug I’ve ever received, for emulating pure beauty and grace on and off stage, for being humble no matter what kind of success life brought you. But most of all, thank you for being the best example of what it means to embody the love of God and sharing your light with us all.
Your beauty will help save the world 💜🕊️
