altongrimes Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 A company with whom I am completely unfamiliar is coming to my hometown within a handful of days: Ballet B C. YouTube videos of them would seem to reveal a very talented and innovative contemporary dance troup. I wonder if anyone out there in Ballet Alert has experienced this company? Link to comment
Helene Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ballet BC hasn't been a ballet company since John Alleyne left. It's a contemporary dance, ballet-ish company that occasionally uses pointe shoes, but they do present other, classical companies, like Miami City Ballet, and a large company "Nutcracker.". When they first started up, Karen Kain brought a small troupe of dancers to perform ballet highlights in two of the three 'acts" at their fundraiser opening, but their own programs are generally contemporary. That doesn't mean you shouldn't see them or that you won't like them, but you should know what to expect before you go. Link to comment
