Sochi

Russian writing is so pretty Cyrillic???!! I don't know. I remember a Russian cruise ship visiting Tonga when I attended Tonga side school. It was either when I was in class 4 or 5 when our class went on a field trip there. I also remember a Russian group performing at Liahona High School. The girls did pretty stuff with streamers and gymnastic dancing.

I love Swan Lake and they kept playing it since Russian Composer Tchaikovsky is the source of it and also the Nutcracker. I never really think about how he's Russian although it's an obviously Russian name. Russia is home to ballet or at least I think it is. Balanchine is who I think of however. Time to look him up.

Ballanchine was born in Russia than moved to the U.S. He was the ballet master of the New York City ballet.
