Northern Virginia Ballet Performs The Nutcracker Ballet! *giveaway*

November 8, 2016 No Comments

I am so excited to be bringing another opportunity to support local arts! The Academy of Russian Ballet is proud to present their ninth annual Nutcracker Ballet with Northern Virginia Ballet company. This year, International Ballet stars Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky will be guest dancers in the performance. Ms. Dvorovenko and Mr. Beloserkovsky are former Principal dancers with American Ballet Theater and were trained at the Kiev State Choreographic Institute and were Principal dancers with the Kiev State Ballet in Uktraine. Ms Dvorovenko was a guest judge on “So You Think You Can Dance?” and will be featured on the upcoming Starz Channel series, “Flesh and Bone”.

The Northern Virginia Ballet is an amazing company with a family-friendly atmosphere. As attendees of their performances for the last couple of years we have been continually impressed with the talent, and the performers. They interact with the children, take pictures and answer questions. Supporting local arts, giving children opportunities to both perform for an audience and also watch something geared towards them is so important.

Peter and the Wolf Comes to the Hylton Performing Arts Center {Academy of Russian Ballet}

I’m so very excited to share with you the Northern Virginia Youth Ballet and the Academy of Russian Ballet’s perfomance of Peter and the Wolf. We were privileged to see these amazing performers in The Nutcracker this past winter, and were thoroughly impressed. The NVYB is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for young dancers to perform and grow as dancers. One of the things that particularly struck me about this ballet company was the dancers themselves, after they done with the Ballet. My daughter, who is by nature more introverted, was bound and determined to meet some of the dancers. So, we went up to them. They bent down and spoke to her and took pictures. They were completely comfortable with that and it really touched me deeply. The talent in this company for the young age of the dancers is wonderful, and you can tell that there is extreme dedication happening. As someone who has ballet in their blood, these are all things that I look for, and I just can’t help it. I find myself look at the small details that most people wouldn’t notice. Is there a sickled foot, is it winged up in arabesque? I know I know, I realize I might just have lost you there, but I’m a ballet geek what can I say!

If you are looking for something to do this Friday consider snagging tickets for this excellent production. Bonus: Military families are provided a discount. Just makes me love this organization more. That’s not something that they are required to do or even have to do. But it is a window into generosity that makes me want to patronize a company or organization more.

Peter and the Wolf features Australian guest dancer Victor Leo Smith in the title role. He will wow the audience with his huge jumps and multiple turns.

Paquita has Melissa Zoebisch and Alexandru Glusacov from the Colorado Ballet in the Principal roles.

Very family friendly production and a fun way to spend the evening together!

Supporting roles performed by members of NVYB and ARB, many of whom just competed at the 2016 Youth America Grand Prix international finals against over 1200 dancers from 36 countries.
