Top Spot - Tonia Looker, ballerina

“My favourite place is Sisteron, a little village in the South of France. It feels like stepping into a fairy tale.

I was lucky enough to perform there with the Royal New Zealand Ballet. The town, nestled in the mountains, has stunning views, gorgeous houses and lovely locals who helped me practise my French. I have delicious memories of exploring little winding streets, eating amazing baguettes and pastries and savouring a lovely glass of red wine.“

Tonia stars in the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s Meridian Season of Sleeping Beauty, touring New Zealand this summer.
