Welcome to the land of ice, where a gentle but important story of courage, friendship and climate change unfolds among the snowfields and curious animals.
A little penguin is just learning to fish, but his curiosity quickly takes him far from home. With the help of his good friends, a seal and an albatross, the mother penguin, worried, sets out to search for her lost penguin. The albatross soars high into the sky and... and so the initially peaceful day suddenly changes.
The ice begins to melt. Animals are losing their homes, fish are swimming away, ice sheets are breaking up. Where should they go? How should they survive?
With joint efforts and mutual help, they set off on their journey, with the desire to find a safe haven and for man to finally listen to nature.

Training that opens the door to the beautiful world of ballet—whether for the first time or as a return to something familiar.

When your body is trying to tell you something…
Če bi mi dve leti nazaj nekdo rekel, da bom slišala dva stavka Ne boste več mogli plesati in Prilagoditi boste morali svoje življenje, bi ga verjetno zelo grdo pogledala in ne bi poslušala, kaj to dejansko pomeni. Danes lahko rečem, da sem v teh dveh mesecih in pol "prehodila" pot, ki ni bila lahka in me je streznila.
