Since we last connected here on the blog, it's been a busy time at the summer intensive! Our Beginner/Intermediate successfully performed for friends and family at the end of their two-week program, and last week the Intermediate level got started on three weeks of dancing from 9 am to 4 pm. In parallel, our advanced level is entering week four of their five-week intensive.

As rehearsals continue for our upcoming performances of Giselle on October 17-19, we are beginning to see the full shape of the ballet emerge. One of our more recent blog posts delved into the history, story, and notable moments in Giselle, but there's no substitute for watching the ballet come together right before your eyes.

Although many of our audience members are seasoned patrons of the arts, each new production brings in members of the community who may be seeing ballet for the first time. We may be biased, but we think that seeing your first professional ballet performance is a special experience! Whether it's your first time or your hundredth, we've gathered a few tips and tricks to make the most out of your visit to the ballet.

Often performed by many ballet companies all over the world, Giselle is a beloved production for many dancers and audience members. With its compelling characters, tragic story, and beautiful dancing, Giselle remains one of the most popular works in the ballet repertory.

As the company prepares for our performances of Swan Lake on April 25 & 26, we are also thrilled to share our plans for the coming year!...
