Giselle falls for Albrecht, unaware of the secret he is keeping from her. When the truth comes to light, their love story takes a devastating turn.
But Giselle’s love will be tested in ways she never imagined.

This September, step into one of ballet’s most enduring stories of love, betrayal and forgiveness.

Giselle
📍 Edmonton | Sept. 18–19
📍 Calgary | Sept. 24–26

Can love survive betrayal?

As the first week of school ends, I’d like to summarize my summer journey this year! ✨
.
In June, I started off at the Vaganova International Program in Las Vegas @vaganovainternationalprogram , and although I could only go for a week, it was truly such a fun experience! After all, I could learn with master teachers! Thank you for helping me work on my variation too, it was very helpful!
.
.
In June and July, I went to the Alberta Ballet School Summer Intensive @abballetschool in Canada 🇨🇦. It was my first time going out of country for dance, so it was an extremely fun and enjoyable experience! I made many friends there and improved so much over the three weeks there!
.
.
Finally, I went to DUCON @runqiaodu in California, hosted by Osipova Ballet Academy, my home studio. I had an excellent time there with my friends, and improved my variation so much! I thank the faculty there! ❤️
.
In conclusion, I had the opportunity to go to three new summer intensives, one out of state, and another out of country! I had so much fun during summer and can’t wait for next year! 🌸❤️💕
