Tutus and Treats - February 22, 2015
Each year, select students from SMBT's pre-professional company compete in the Youth America Grand Prix, the largest classical ballet competition for students in the world. These students work very hard preparing classical variations and group pieces from the ballet repertoire. Each year, before the competition, SMBT hosts Tutus and Treats, a dessert theatre that serves as a fundraiser to offset some of the costs the dancers and their families incur. It is a fun time with lots of yummy treats, a silent auction, and entertainment from very talented students. For more information on YAGP, visit their website at www.yagp.org.
The Sleeping Beauty - May 30-31 USM
Starring dancers from Russian’s Bolshoi Ballet, The Sleeping Beauty is a crown jewel of the ballet reparatory. The familiar story of Princess Aurora, her handsome prince, and the Fairies that save her life shine beautifully on stage. Tchaikovsky’s famous score accompanies the timeless choreography in a wonderful culmination of SMBT’s 5th anniversary season.
