A Ballet by Meghan Samonte
Dec 10, 2022
The SM Seaside Centerstage was beaming with joy and happiness as JCI Mandaue together with Ballet Academy of Cebu and Ms Meghan Samonte had concluded the much awaited world wide premiere event this Christmas season – The Ugly Duckling by Meghan Samonte.
300+ kids from the 9 participating SK federations all over Mandaue City were treated to an impeccable ballet performance. The spectacle, which ran for an hour and a half ended with an audience interaction wherein the ballet dancers taught the kids the basics of ballet – one which the kids enjoyed so much.
After the show, the kids were then treated to a sumptuous Jolly Meal together with a toy loot bag as merry galo Christmas present from their kuyas from JCI Mandaue.
The next day, Dec 11 2022, a delegation from the merry men of JCI Mandaue also watched the paid gala show to show support and gratitude to Ballet Academy of Cebu.
