She is only 18, but her every step on stage carries the weight of discipline, grace and flawless talent. Olimpia C\u0103r\u0103uleanu, a student at the \"Floria Capsali\" Choreography High School in Bucharest, lives for dance and through dance. Since the age of six, ballet has become for her not just a passion but a way of understanding the world.
