Image Description: Nejla, adorned in a striking blue headpiece and a flowing white scarf, kneels gracefully, her arms extended skyward in a powerful gesture. She is enveloped by a cascade of vibrant rose petals, creating a scene that is both ethereal and captivating, as if she’s summoning beauty from the heavens. The text “Dance Place 2024 – 2025 Season” is visible in the bottom left corner.
