I wanted to let you know about the UK's newest classical dance company - Ballet Theatre UK, who have just announced their first tour with The Nutcracker.
The Company have been established for almost a year and there are ten professional dancers (six female and four male), some of whom have performed with major UK and European ballet companies. The dancers are lucky to have a sports therapist on the team, to provide the highest working standards.
I will be writing more about the Company in due course.
PRESS RELEASE
The Nutcracker
Where Tchaikovsky’s most loved and unforgettable musical score combines with magical choreography, exquisite costumes and breath taking scenery that together creates an atmosphere of fantasy and illusion.
Our NEW production will premiere in October 2009 before beginning its Autumn tour of the UK, covering over twenty regional venues, and incorporating 3 spectacular sets and over 60 beautifully hand crafted costumes.
The Nutcracker Features such favourites as The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Waltz of the Flowers, The Russian Trepak, The Dance of the Reed pipes and the world famous Waltz of the Snowflakes, to name but a few.

I am delighted that you visited Blue Creek Home and left me a comment!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun job you have. When my girls were young, we would take them to the Nutcrakcer at Christmas time. I think it was the one in Birmingham, AL where a dancer's top kept falling down. She was a real trooper and kept dancing...pulling it back up only when she had her back to the audience. I have never seen so many opera glasses come out of hiding in my life!!! Rhonda

Thank you for stopping over to my blog. My daughter and I used to go see the Nutcracker every year before Christmas...our tradition together. I miss it. I can still remember her big eyes opened wide with some of the dances and props/scenery on stage....fun to watch as a parent.

ReplyDeleteHello Elise,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting me; so glad you liked my site! Your site is far more interesting! What a wonderful job you have!
The Nutcracker is one of my favorite ballets. I used to watch it on TV every year but now I own the DVD. It's beautiful. I collect nutcrackers and bring them out at Christmas time because of that ballet. When I was a little girl all I wanted for Christmas was a nutcracker :>)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my farm blog and leaving a lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteYou have a unique and interesting blog. I don't recall seeing a blog on ballet until now. I will take a few minutes to explore your posts.
