Local ballet theatre strives to make dancing enjoyable for all

“Sleeping Beauty is probably the hardest ballet you can perform,” according to company member and teacher Alberto Gaspar. Audience members can expect to see company members and Olympic Ballet School students performing technically challenging choreography all done under the artistic direction of Vinson and Gorboulev. Ballet is intended to look graceful, if audience members don’t leave admiring this art form for the elegance that is portrayed the dancers didn’t accomplish their jobs.

“The set and scenic designs were eye catching. They reminded me a bit of the Stowell Sendak version (which is a good thing) but they were also very much their own unique designs. I loved the use of the doors, fireplace, and closets as entrances and exits for the dancers.    …One thing that immediately stood out to me was the choreography and movement of the young dancers. It was wonderful to see actual dancing by these young students as compared to other productions where they appear to be focused on just movement. The ballerina and nutcracker “dolls” were also a very nice touch.”  Read more
