I suppose it's almost irony that not a day after the announcement to close the school had been made, I received a letter detailing a request for my attendance at the Vaganova school in Russia, not just as an exchange student, but as an assistant instructor. Furthermore, I have been told that I have the authority to grant three full-ride scholarships to my most promising students, for up to six years of study with who are basically the masters of ballet in this day.

I know people who would literally murder people to have this opportunity. I am, officially, offering two of the spots to you two, because I see great potential in your dancing. Studying under the masters would allow you to get much greater technical range than what I alone could ever offer you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I have a week or so to let them know if I'll be taking anyone with me. If you do not want to do it, please let me know as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Fakir le Riche
Vaganova School of Ballet
