Six ballet dancers who have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion were warming up last Friday on the stage of the National Opera House in Romanian capital Bucharest.

In the days after they left the badly hit cities of Dnipro and Odessa, the Ukrainian, Kyrgyz and Canadian dancers had reached out to the institution for help. It gave them a safe place to train and potentially perform under pending collaboration contracts.
