Meet ballet’s best-loved princesses and princes in an enchanted evening of classical favorites in Kent.
Brigham Young University’s Theatre Ballet brings childhood dreams to life in “Fairy Tales and Fantasy,” on Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m. at Kentwood Performing Arts Center, 25800 164th Ave. SE, in Covington.
The public is also invited to attend a pre-show “Prince and Princess Party” where the young and young-at-heart can dress as princes and princesses, meet the ballet company, and take pictures right before this family-friendly performance.
“Fairy Tales and Fantasy” is an evening of highlights from classic ballets such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Swan Lake. BYU’s critically acclaimed ballet company brings the stories to life and onto the stage, as if right out of the storybook. The show is filled with both classical and original choreography from one of the largest, most successful dance programs in the country.
Theatre Ballet originates in the Department of Dance of the College of Fine Arts and Communications at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. It is one of the largest university dance programs in America with around 350 students enrolled in ballet classes alone each semester. The ballet program runs with a complete curriculum that supports two performing companies.
