An Adorable Onstage Proposal
November 28, 2001
Need a little something to warm your heart on this frigid (thanks, polar vortex) morning?
After a stressful day spent arranging her dance school’s first performance, ballet teacher Phillipa Burt was surprised by an onstage proposal from her boyfriend, Joe King. The curtains parted at the conclusion of the show to reveal her tutu-clad students holding up letters that spelled, “Marry Me.”
All together now: Awwwww.
And good on Mr. King for realizing that for us ballet people, there are few places more special than the stage.
The whole thing was caught on video. Take a look here—and stay warm, everyone!
