cancelled – All Balanchine Studio Spotlight

Friday, April 24 | 7pm

at Dorrance Theatre

You’re invited to an intimate rehearsal featuring Ib Andersen and the dancers of Ballet Arizona. Step inside the studio at Ballet Arizona’s Dorrance studio theater and experience a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming production, All Balanchine. This is the closest you will ever be to the work without being on the stage! Each one-hour gathering includes time for a Q&A discussion.

Slaughter on Tenth Avenue – An audience favorite with showbiz charm, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue is an alluring ballet about a jealous Russian premier danseur and his hoofing American rival. Taken from the Broadway musical On Your Toes, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue was the first of four Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart musicals choreographed by Balanchine.

Serenade – The first ballet Balanchine choreographed in America, Serenade is a romantic work of massive sweep set to a transcendent Tchaikovsky score, echoing themes of betrayal and alluding to images of protection.

Bourrée Fantasque Arizona premiere – Balanchine takes comic aim at many of the conventions that characterize classical dance while providing glimpses of popular dances such as the tango and the can-can. Bourrée Fantasque moves from comic absurdity, to dazzling hilarity with astounding shifts of geometric formations.
