[Colorado-Talk] Fwd: Colorado Ballet's Audio Described Performances and Touch Tour Information

[barbfellet at comcast.net]

Hi Everyone,

I attended an audio described Swan Lake at the Colorado Ballet.  I also took advantage of the tactile tour.  I cannot express how wonderful this was for me and my granddaughters (who are little ballerinas).  The Colorado Ballet and Amy Ogden were SO wonderful.  Prior to losing my vision, I had seen Swan Lake and I knew the story.  Amy’s descriptions given with heartfelt emotion made my experience better than when I could actually see the ballet.  I recommend this to anyone who may have an interest.

If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me on my email barbfellet at comcast.net.

Loving this new adventure in my life!

Barb Fellet
