MICHIGAN BALLET FESTIVAL
Calling all ballet students for an incredible opportunity in our own backyard! The Michigan Ballet Festival, held at the Swartz Creek Performing Arts Center, is a two day event consisting of master classes given by experts in the field, and an opportunity to perform at the Gala, where professional adjudicators will give each performer personal feedback to help them excel in their performance and technique.
If you do not want to perform in the Gala, you can still attend the master classes and participate in the Gala as an audience member.
We are so excited to be able to extend this opportunity to our ballet students! For several years we have taken our students to the Youth American Grand prix. This was the only all ballet competition close enough to participate in, yet we still had to travel out of state and get a hotel for the weekend, which obviously raises costs. Now we have an opportunity to gain the value of an all ballet competition without having to travel out of town and all the extra costs that come with that!
Weather you are an aspiring ballet dancer, or your main focus in dance is another genre, this experience is sure to help you improve in technique, skill and performance!
When: February 21- 22
Where: Swartz Creek Performing Arts Center
Cost:
9-18 year old dancers
Master Classes- $125
Solo Variation- $90 (You must be in Beginner 2 Ballet to be eligible to do a variation)
Preparation:
Preparing a solo variation follows the same pricing as our regular solos.
$73 an hour and a one time $30 service/scheduling fee.
The hours are slightly different and are as follows:
Int/Adv Ballet- 7 hours
Beginner Ballet- 8 hours
Students who choose to do a solo variation at the Michigan Ballet Festival, may also register to compete their variation at any other competition MMDCo participates in. They will also perform their variation in the spring recital.
Registration:
If you would like to sign up for either just the master classes or both the master classes and a solo variation, please fill out the form below. If you have any questions, please email Miss Hollie at [email protected]. You must register for a solo by August 22.
