Kneeling (L-R) Mia Jeric, Amy Li, Chloe Sabo-Nichols and Gianna Galando. “Swan Lake was the ballet we were rehearsing and ready to perform in Spring 2020, before COVID-19 shut it all down,” said Patricia Tomlinson, owner and artistic director. “We are excited to revive it. The dancers have worked hard on this dramatic classical ballet, about love conquering evil.
