It is with a heavy heart that I have to share some sad news. My wonderful ballet teacher and friend Ursula Harrison passed away yesterday after a long illness. Ursula loved all her students very much. She was a fantastic teacher and had a wonderful gift of teaching younger children. They all adored her. Myself and all the girls who worked alongside Ursula for many years will miss her dearly. Im so lucky and proud to have been her Mentor and friend. I will never forget her support and kindness. May she rest in peace now.
