One of the joys of Dance Alive National Ballet’s student group, The Next Generation’s SPRING CONCERT is the way it touches each dancer and every audience member.

This year the group has five graduating members. Co-Director Tales Ribeiro has created a work, “HOME”, for these exceptional dancers – Anna Gleim, Madeleine Gurka, Gabrielle Luna, Kellyn Patton and Allie Schofield.  Expect some tears!

 

PAQUITA SUITE,  staged by Directors Rachel Ridley and Tales Ribeiro with costumes by Chris Takashima, presents the advanced dancers and an opportunity to perform with DANB’s professional company members.  Anna Gleim and Tales Ribeiro will perform in Paquita Pas de Deux, with Leah Perine and Allie Schofield with DANB’s Stirling Kolb in Paquita Pas De Trois.

 

Guest Choreographers include DANB choreographic fellowship recipients Judy Skinner and Kim Tuttle along with another work by the talented Ribeiro.

 

AND THEN…STUDENT WORKS!  The opportunity to choreograph is a highlight for the dancers.  They plan, select and edit music, cast, create, rehearse, select costumes and lighting – generally learn about choreography with guidance from their directors.  

And then their work is performed.

For this SHOWCASE,  Madeleine Gurka has created a contemporary work while Kellyn Patton is presenting a jazz/musical theater work!  Friends Eleanor Gurka and Irma Impink will be presenting a jazz work while the youngest choreographer, Bryana Robinson, takes on a jazz fusion with younger dancers.

 

Join us for an amazing afternoon of dance – a window into the future!
