“We will move from Eugene back to Brazil in fall. Unfortunately, Moeema won’t be able to continue with BFan, but we bring with us lifelong learnings from the experience with you. Amazing little and very profissional company, caring community. We will definitely miss you all, and will carry with us the best from this experience. You nurtured deeply Moeema’s love for ballet. You understand that the most important is to build strong bonds, that we need each other, and your team of instructors is taking seriously the role of models for the kids. You make the world a better place, for your audience, your students and surely for your company members. The Ballet Fantastique has a special place in our heart. Love love love! On vous aime. ”
