The Central Florida Ballet has announced its new two-part Spring performance, “An Evening of Dance”, which offers a great balance for the entire family. The first act will offer gala flair with a variety of short numbers; each ranging from classical to comedy to modern & contemporary styles. Such pieces will include “Tea Time” which pokes fun at formal tea parties and the proper etiquette of guests in the 1900’s as well as traditional classical excerpts of the delightfully fun “Tarantella” and romantic style “La Vivandiere”.
In contrast, the second act will showcase one traditional story ballet, “Act III: The Enchanted Garden” from Le Corsaire a full-length story ballet. Set in King Pasha's palace, beautiful women dance and play tricks on the king. The ballet transitions into a dream sequence where "Medora, Gulnare, and the women of the harem join together to dance a fantastical Grand Ballabile in which they celebrate beauty, grace, and harmony in a garden filled with flowers and magic fountains". Diane Withee, Studio Company Rehearsal Master says, “We wanted to shake up the traditional performance format of either seeing a story ballet or numbers in a gala. We definitely achieved that and know our audience will benefit from the diversity of this evening’s repertoire”.
Tickets are limited for “An Evening of Dance”, a one-night only performance held at the Trinity Preparatory School on Saturday, March 24 at 7pm. General Admission is $10 (Children 10 & Under) and/or $25 (Adults 11 & Up) available by calling 407.849.9948.
A Mini Silent Auction will be held before the performance where you can bid on items from Euro Day Spa, Avon, Yoga lessons, and more. All proceeds will benefit the Central Florida Ballet, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
