Grandma Annie (90) has won two ballet dancers

Grandma Annie van Bragt turned 90, but could not celebrate her birthday due to corona. Granddaughter Charlotte van Gils wanted to think about it and then suddenly there was a competition from Theaters Tilburg. You could win a theater performance at home. The perfect gift, the granddaughter thought and she won. And so two dancers from the Scapino Ballet came to perform in Grandma Annie’s living room.

Not that Grandma Annie has anything to do with ballet, but she loves Charlotte’s present. “I have a great granddaughter. It’s a treasure, ” she says proudly.
