Have you ever dreamed of being a ballerina? I did, as did many of the women who set aside their fears and challenged themselves to go on stage today at the Cultural Centre "Vlada Divljan" in Belgrade, promoted by the studio "Kao Balerina" led by Svetlana Seferović. The common denominator of these wonderful women, is that dreams have no age or shape, and it's never too late to take care of your body and soul, to learn something new! The inspiration comes from Svetlana, an exceptional person and pedagogue, who decided many years ago that her vocation was not the limelight of the stage as a ballerina, but the joy of teaching adults the physicality and artistry of ballet.

I started going to Kao Balerina studio in Dorćol about 4 years ago, and although I'm probably among the most absent students, every class I manage to attend makes my day! For 60 minutes, I am transported to another time and place, my muscles remember the routines that I learned 45 years ago (although it is not always willing to cooperate...!), my memory is challenged at every turn, and my coordination struggles with the most simple movements. Svetlana's guidance, sense of humour and patience are priceless, she understands our limitations, encourages our efforts, and makes each and everyone of us feel like a ballerina. The atmosphere is supportive, warm and gracious, and unkindness, judgement or hostility have no place here. The auditorium of the Cultural Centre was completely full today, and I was moved to tears with the beauty and generosity both on stage and off stage. I left overloaded with a feeling that as long as there are good people like Svetlana Seferović around, the world can only get better!
