Canada’s Ballet Jörgen is returning to River Run Centre on Dec. 22 and 23 at 7:30pm with The Nutcracker.
Last year 24 students from dance schools in Guelph and the surrounding area were selected by Ballet Jörgen Canada to join the company’s professional cast for the Guelph performances.
Performance experience such as this is a valuable addition to the education of a dance/performing arts student.
Once again, the company is offering the opportunity for local dance students to participate with the professional dancers.
Ballet Jörgen will audition local dance students on Sept. 10 at Centennial CVI in Guelph.
Interested young dancers between the ages of 8 and 17 years are asked to register at www.balletjorgencanada.ca.
In the weeks leading up to the performance, the selected students will rehearse regularly at Royal City School of Ballet and Theatre Jazz Inc in Guelph.
Ballet Jörgen’s The Nutcracker takes the audience on a journey through Canada’s northern lands filled with snowflakes, trilliums and woodland creatures.
Roles such as Deer, Beaver, Frog, Dragonfly, Squirrel and Bear Cub will be filled by young dancers selected during the auditions on Sept. 10.
Ballet Jörgen is renowned for ballets that combine innovation, warmth, humour and beauty.
They are the only professional Canadian ballet company with a repertoire consisting exclusively of original works.
For the River Run performances, all seats are reserved. Adult tickets are $50/$46, senior tickets are $47/$43 and student tickets are $34/$30. Premier seating price is $70. Prices include HST.
This is an eyeGO performance.
Tickets are now on sale at River Run Centre Box Office at 519-763-3000 or 1-877-520-2408 or www.riverrun.ca
