Nausica who i am sure most of you also know as a beautiful art nude model and close friend of mine is an inspiration to me in her work and features in my book. Then had work in Italy and got to watch Di Pallio In Siena, went vintage shopping and stayed in a sweet hotel with a lovely pool. The next day was just to chill so had a long lie in and then drove to Florence and had a lovely evening exploring, shooting and creating another You Tube. When Ella Bella attends her dance lesson, she and the other children are enchanted by the ‘Dolly Music’ their teacher plays from her magical musical box. Madame Rosa explains that it is from the ballet La Boutique Fantasque, about a kindly toymaker and his shop full of dancing dolls. FrancI apologize for the delay in getting this update out; I've been quite busy with performances since my return to London. This week alone, I have four shows lined up, and next week, there will be six, including some in St. Tropez and even an audition in Paris. It's been a whirlwind of activity, running around London with elaborate costumes and crashing on friends' sofas after finishing performances very late—or should I say, very early in the morning. Amidst all this, I'm also trying to find the time and energy to film new acts and launch a new branch of my company (I'll share more details about this soon).My recent trip to Poland for a photography workshop was a whirlwind of creativity and culture. Over three days, I had the privilege of shooting in two stunning locations, modelling in incredible costumes, and meeting amazing people, all while savouring delicious Polish cuisine.

To most people's disbelief, they only last me about 5 hours of dancing. Equaling to two ballet classes and a few performances. This means I get through about two pairs a week. We have already done two gigs this month which where both beautiful jobs in castles and stunning costumes. I recently traveled to Amsterdam and Poland for moddeling photoshoots while also performing my ballet burlesque acts in London. The shoots were intense, but I loved the creative energy and working with talented teams of photographers and designers. Juggling the photoshoots with my performances was challenging, but I feel proud of what I accomplished. A few late/sleepless nights along the way, finishing performing late and flights leaving early but all worth it for when you get a nude ballet shot at sun set in the middle of Amsterdam. Iv been taking my book around with me and leaving it in places for people to come across it. Hopefully some of the pictures shot on my travels will appear in my next book.As I continue to work on more duo shoots, I am always looking for ways to push my creativity and produce something truly memorable. Whether it's experimenting with new lighting techniques or trying out new poses and styles, I am constantly looking for ways to take my work to the next level. He has also created designs and illustrations for the Kirov Mariinsky Opera of St Petersburg and in 1994 won the New York Times award for one of the ten best illustrated books on the year (The Boy and The Cloth of Dreams). He has made regular appearances at the National Galleries in Edinburgh and London and visits many schools, and arts and literary festivals. Just in the process of organising my second Bella’s Ballerinas promo shoot. I had a very kind studio owner reach out to me to offer there studio as a rehearsal and film location for our creations. Next set of costumes have arrived and I am busy choreographing two new routines. Can’t wait to share with everyone.

As I continue to travel to different counties and meet new models, I am thrilled to be able to create more duo shoots than ever before. Being able to collaborate with other talented individuals and create stunning visuals together is one of the many reasons why I love what I do.
