- The Swan Princess -

                       Every day with practice in tights and leotard
                   Her spring cherry lips sprout in the imprint of joy
                      A mind without fear...she was born to dance
                           A girl who can perform classical ballet,
                  long before she has learned to spell her own name

                             As a swan in graceful movements,
                     engulfed in the magic of movement and light
                        The emotions are pulled through her skin
                                    with a flowing inspiration
                                exactly on the right technique
                      The eagerness, the curiosity and the wonder
                                        in every tiny step

                         In a romantic white tutu with red sequins
                    Exquisite movements and the choreography divine
                   She could have been the swan princess in the ballet
                     Swan Lake with music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
                           The wings of a bird that is still too young
                            the fire is burning in her future dreams
