Principal Artist Kirsty Martin, currently on maternity leave, recently returned to The Australian Ballet Centre in Melbourne to introduce dancers and staff to her newborn daughter, Matilda.
The beautiful baby girl was born on Friday 31 July 2009 and weighed in at a healthy 3.3kgs.
Matilda is the second child for Kirsty and her husband, fellow Principal Artist Damien Welch. She is the first sister for the couple’s young son Oscar, who is four.
Kirsty will spend the remainder of 2009 at home with baby but plans a return to the stage in 2010.
