In fall 2018, the tragic passing of
@stlouisballet dancer Raffaella Stroik shook the dance world. Today, her hometown of South Bend, Indiana, continues to honor her memory.
Her life has now inspired a brand-new fairy-tale ballet,
@raffaella.ballet , commissioned by the Stroik family in her memory and choreographed by
@ckretz92 . It premieres this month at South Bend’s
@morrispac , running June 29–30.
