What an incredible day full of team bonding and Academy spirit!

Today we spotted:
😎 A crowd of Mr. Micahs (BAYE Company)
🌸 A beautiful garden (BAYE Apprentices)
🌈 A colorful rainbow (BAYE Trainees)

Mr. Micah and Miss Yellie also tried to guess their casts by their tendu, who do you think knew their dancers best? 🤭💭
