“What happens next…?” English National Ballet dancer Belinda Hernandez looks around during a performance of Alice in Wonderland to make sure she is doing the right thing. Belinda is Australian and has the broadest accent to match except that her mother is Spanish and when Belinda speaks Spanish there is absolutely no trace of her Australian accent. Extraordinary to hear. As far as I know this is the only ballet production ever to feature square tutus!
