Bayer Ballet Company presents ...
Springtime Novelettes
Come dream with us in an unusual classical ballet recital experience!

Springtime Novelettes is an unusual recital comprised of diverse pieces from classical and neoclassical ballet. In it you will experience the explosive joy of European character dances, take a journey through an enchanted forest, meet characters from classical ballet, and see demonstrations of the training that informs the art of ballet storytelling.

Professional dancers-Maykel Solas and Junna Ige of Ballet San Jose-will join Bayer Ballet's youth company and students in this two part ballet show-case with two performances (1 PM and 4 PM) on June 12th, 2011 at the beautiful Menlo-Atherton Center for the Performing Arts. http://www.thecenteratma.org/

Our program includes variations from La Bayadere (The Temple Dancer), Swan Lake, Don Quixote, Paquita, The Talisman, La fille mal gardee, Sylvia (ou La nymphe de Diane), and more, as well as lively folk-inspired Russian and Moldavian (character) dances. Children will especially enjoy Little Red Riding Hood, an original mini-story ballet with an unusual retelling of this classic fairy tale.

The world of ballet is diverse and capacious with room for both children's dreams and adult inspiration alike. Share our world and learn some of the secrets-large and small-of creating an experience of the fantastic... classical ballet style!
