Pirouette and Adagio

*

The stars in the ballet school:
Dusica a legendary pirouette
Lydia performing a lyrical
adagio eliciting tears

Mlle Nina did not regret
offering her life to ballet, only
when her pupils left after eight
years under her care did

in the scent of oil and
teaching new troupes

Of future dancers, fondly
recalling her youth as a
ballerina when she
knew Anna Pavlova…


Based on the book "Ballerina"
