Yesterday, on New Year’s Eve, I made my return to the stage 3 and a half months post ankle surgery! It’s amazing to be back
@royalballetandopera and I’m so grateful for all the support I felt from friends, family and colleagues! Here comes quite a list of people I’d like to give a special thanks 🙏🏼
First of all, to my amazing Sugar Plum Fairy,
@annettebuvoli it has been the most wonderful process putting this together with you and our coach
@chris_saunders_ ! We had lots of laughs along the way and you both encouraged me so much, thank you for such a special time! I’m looking forward to our next show on the 5th!!
The amazing rehabilitation team at The Royal Ballet, physio
@rob_vellosa ballet coach
@brianmckennamaloney S&C
@gregor.rosenkranz and pilates coach Jane Paris! This is now the second time you are getting me back on my feet and up in the air again, and I truly couldn’t have done it without you!
Last, but not least to my wife
@marikosasaki448 for taking care of me when I was on crutches and for always being my biggest supporter! 2025 has been such a special year for us, and I am so grateful for you every day ❤️
As always,
@dancersdiary thank you for the lovely photos from our stage rehearsal and show 📸
