May mga bagbabago na dapat alam mo at gamay mo ito sapagkat maari kang kainin nito ng hindi mo namamalayan.

Kaya naman dahil diyan hinahahandog ng Ballet Philippines sa kanilang 46th Season ang Dance Spring o Pagsibol.

Isa ako sa mga natutuwang makita ang ilan sa mga ballerino at ballerina nila sapagkat pangarap ko din na sumayaw sa entablado sapamamagitan ng ballet ngunit subalit parang ayaw naman ata ng ballet sa akin kaya naman nakuntento na lamang ako sa panonood sa kanila. Talaga naman kahanga-hangang panoorin lalo na pa na ang ilan sa kanilang ay naging junior pricipal dancer, soloist, at iba pa.
