Journalism + Media alumna Milagros Rosales ’09, better known as “Mili,” tells the story of Vanessa Rubio, a ballet dancer and creator of one of the last standing ballet schools in Venezuela in the all-Spanish documentary The Ballerina. Inspired by Rubio and her journey, Rosales and her husband, Alejandro Gonzalez, set out to tell the tale of just how Rubio became a ballerina and managed to open her own school, despite the many ups and downs she’s faced throughout her life and an overall lack of appreciation and support for the arts and ballet in Venezuela.
