Joy Womack & Adrian Blake Mitchell Leave Behind Professional Ballet Careers in Russia

#joywomack #adrianblakemitchell #ballet Dancers Joy Womack and Adrian Blake Mitchell are coming home to Westside Ballet having been trained at the famed Santa Monica, California school, but their path back to the United States is an unexpected one. Both artists found themselves having to leave their homes in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. Womack left behind her job at Russian Ballet while Mitchell departed from his job at Mikhailovsky Ballet Company in St. Petersburg. The move leaves them both with heavy hearts as they loved the rich arts and culture community, they integrated with but condemn the actions of the country’s leader. SUBSCRIBE:
