Willamette Apprentice Ballet Concert - Majestic Theatre, Feb 9 and 10, 2007
CORVALLIS --
Willamette Apprentice Ballet, has a concert coming up at the
Majestic Theatre in Corvallis:
February 9th & 10th, 2007, at 8pm both nights.
TICKETS ARE ONLY $5!! ALL AGES!!
This is going to be a great show! I have an incredibly talented group of twelve dancers, all middle school and high school students from the Corvallis/Albany/Philomath area, performing a variety of dance forms. Yes, there will be a beautiful classical ballet piece with shiny pointe shoes and long white tutus, but there will also be a jazz piece, danced to music by David Benoit, a charming contemporary ballet piece with music by the celtic group Solas, and guest dancers from Portland will be bringing contemporary ballet pieces AND a tap dance piece. The longest piece is only 8 1/2 minutes, so this will be a fast-paced, dynamic show. As for me, my piece was inspired by the music and dance of Indian "Bollywood" films, so I've got my bunheads dancing a unique mix of classical ballet and Indian classical dance...and they are quite good at it! My costume designer, Mariann Jones, has made my dancers 12 absolutely gorgeous traditional Indian saris. The stage will be filled with color! Please mark your calendars, this is a concert you don't want to miss. Feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone else you know who enjoys a good dance concert, and who likes to support local performance groups. And only $5! Such a deal! Hope to see you at the concert!
Thank you!
