Michael Braun Dancer

Hi, I am Michael Braun, and I am a dancer. I was just told about this great review I got for the last season of Sleeping Beauty with Queensland Ballet. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/stage/a-beautiful-awakening/story-fn9d344c-1226528404863 "A beautiful awakening" "Michael Braun returns to the company for this season in the roles of Catalabutte, the Master of Ceremonies and the Bluebird. He has lost none of his charisma and athleticism as a performer and is a joy to watch. Crilly also danced a fluttery Bluebird with Michael Braun and together they took flight."
