BH-BL graduate and Salutatorian, Aquilla Chase talked about dreams and aspirations in her address to the graduates. She noted her love for ballet and has always known that she probably would never be able to dance on the SPAC stage with the NYC Ballet, so she took time to dance a solo called "The Talisman", choreographed in 1889 by Marius Petipa, at the commencement held on Thursday afternoon.
