San Francisco Ballet is celebrating its 90th anniversary and, next week, its students will take the stage for a very special presentation called Spring Festival.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Ballet is the oldest ballet company and school in the country. This year, it is celebrating its 90th anniversary and, next week, its students will take the stage for a very special presentation called Spring Festival.
The Pennsylvania native said she has dreamed of attending the school since she was 12 years old after she completed a summer program here."It's really been a part of my life since I was three years old. I always knew that I loved to dance and I just wanted to be on stage," Gailliard said."I think a lot of people don't realize how many sacrifices it takes."
"Ultimately, the dream for me is to inspire young girls -- especially African American ballet dancers who really aren't represented as well as other ethnicities within the ballet world," she said."And just be able to dance as many works and styles as I can while my body allows me to."
