In keeping with the holiday spirit, Balletcenter, Ayala Center Cebu and Marco Polo Plaza Cebu presented “Holiday Classics” at Ayala’s Cinema One, to a packed audience, recently.
The very familiar joyful tunes arranged in ballet mode, took the balletomanes by storm!
We particularly loved the “Winter Wonderland” waltz performed by Cecille Nolasco and Gregory Aaron... Ole! And hummed along with our bestloved carols!
We were likewise in awe at the spectacular, snow-capped trees as backdrop. Congratulations once more to Balletcenter’s artistic directors Gregory Aaron and Nicolas Pacaña, and manager Josh Romayla!
