The Argentinian ballet dancer who was badly hurt in a rollerskating accident last month has been released from hospital - but she knows she has a long road of recovery ahead.

A promising young Argentinian ballerina is practicing dance moves in her bed just two weeks after suffering a severe head injury in British Columbia.

The friends of an Argentinian ballet dancer badly hurt in a roller-skating accident in North Vancouver last week are hoping to fundraise enough money to make sure she can make a full recovery.
