Vaganova قصص

Giselle, prima ballerina of the century, has everyone thinking that she has a perfect life. Being a student at School of American Ballet, one of the best ballet schools in the world, and later going on to be a prima ballerina with the New York City Ballet, but no one knows what she has gone through to get to where she is. Blood, pain, injuries, relationships, family issues... Even murder.

Elysia tried to make it as Vaganova's graduating star, the top student, but was beaten to it by another girl in her class - Natalia. She enters the Prix de Lausanne as a way to boost her confidence and when she gets an offer afterwards to join the Royal Ballet School in order to finish her ballet training, she jumps at the chance. Elysia leaves the Vaganova and goes there, making many friends along the way and developing one that will change her life . . . for better and for worse. A tale of mystery, intrigue and romance, set to the background of several ballet productions, this follows a love story all the way, through bitter and sweet, despair and delight.
