The Band I chose to do my concert report on is none other than John Mayer. Ironically a few hours before attending this concert I had no idea who this performer was, I blindly trusted a good friend of mine, and bought tickets for both us.

After watching the documentary “Ballerina,” the training methods took me by surprise because they put in so much work for the craft. I’ve done ballet before all the way from when I was little to my high school years, and seeing how much dedication the dancers put in is amazing.
