Celebrated dancer has been crisscrossing the U.S., holding classes and sharing her passion for ballet

Students at Fossemalle Dance Studio had the opportunity of being taught a ballet class by the former ballet mistress for the New England Ballet, Miss Linda Giancaspro. The event took place early in October.

Straight from New York City, Giancaspro has been crisscrossing the United States with the desire to share her passion for the art of ballet through holding numerous dance conventions and classes.

“As teachers, we are always striving to enhance our advanced ballet students’ experience and expertise, so we were incredibly pleased and excited about Miss Linda Giancaspro’s visit,” said teacher and studio owner Christine Fossemalle. “Our ballerinas had the opportunity to take part in a master class, and it was an evening of joy, enthusiasm, and excitement. Our ballerinas lived up to the high expectations and rose to the challenges beautifully. The class was incredible, and each dancer had an experience of a lifetime.

“As their teacher, it was a treat for me to witness the work, the drive, and their accomplishments! Brilliant and uplifting for all involved! Each of them made me proud of their outstanding endeavors.”

Following the class, Giancaspro said, “Thank you, Mme. Fossemalle for hosting me and presenting the opportunity to work with your beautifully trained dancers! They have it all: focus, passion, and technique! Bravo ladies!”

“We wish to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Miss Linda for her exquisite and inspiring ballet class and for communicating her love and passion for the art of ballet,” Fossemalle said. “We will cherish the memories of this special moment for a long time to come. It encourages us to continue to strive for excellence in both technique and artistry. We are looking forward to welcoming her back.”
