As a ballet, La Sylphide has everything you could ask for: diaphanous sylphs, wicked witches, and men in kilts! Premiering in 1836, Bournonville's La Sylphide is the world's oldest surviving ballet. Its importance cannot be overstated, but, surprisingly, BTM has never performed it before! This October will be the company's premiere of La Sylphide.

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.
