Founded in 1937 by Josephine and Hermene Schwarz, it was first known as the Experimental Group for Young Dancers and its home was the Dayton Art Institute. This group was an outgrowth of the Schwarz School of Dance, and its purpose was to give the school's more advanced students an opportunity to gain performing experience by presenting concerts to local organizations. In 1941 the group's name changed to the Dayton Theater Dance Group, and in 1948 the Children's Ballet Company was founded for dancers between the ages of 10 and 14. In 1957 the two companies merged to become the Dayton Ballet Theater. In the early 1950s two membership support groups were formed, the Dayton Ballet Society and the Dayton Dance Guild, to promote dance in the Dayton area and to help maintain the dance companies. A major reorganization took place in 1958 to bring the functions of all the groups under one corporation--the Dayton Civic Ballet, Incorporated. That same year saw the establishment of a Board of Directors, the granting of federal tax-exempt status, a successful lay membership drive, and charter membership in the Northeastern Regional Ballet Association. An auxiliary organization, the Friends of the Dayton Ballet was founded in 1968. The corporation was renamed the Dayton Ballet Association in 1978. The Schwarz School of Dance continued to be independent and privately run by the Schwarz sisters until 1984, when the Dayton Ballet Association assumed its administration and renamed it the Dayton Ballet Dance Center. Upon the merger of the Jon Rodriguez School of Ballet with the Dayton Ballet Dance Center in 1988, the school became simply known as Dayton Ballet School. In the interests of promoting dance in the Miami Valley area, Dayton Ballet gives numerous lecture-demonstrations and mini-concerts to local schools, and organizations. The company was granted Major Company status by the National Association for Regional Ballet (NARB) and performed annually at the NARB festivals. NARB became Regional Dance America in 1987. In 2012, leadership of the Dayton Ballet, Dayton Opera, and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra merged under one organization named the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance. This merger was the first of its kind in the nation. As of 2020, the Dayton Ballet performs at Dayton's historic Victoria Theatre and the Schuster Center. 3 MS-48 Dayton Ballet Company Records Scope and Content: When researching this collection, it is useful to know the following distinct groups and their interrelated activities: the Dayton Ballet School, (formerly the Schwarz School of the Dance, then renamed the Dayton Ballet Dance Center), is the official school for the Dayton Ballet Company. The Dayton Ballet First Company is a professional performing group of approximately 15 dancers. Dayton Ballet II is the apprentice/training company for the first company. Both companies are supported and promoted by The Dayton Ballet Association. The Dayton Ballet Association is a non-profit corporation which maintains a staff, a rehearsal hall, and an office for company classes, rehearsals, business and meetings. The Friends of the Dayton Ballet is the volunteer service arm of the Dayton Ballet Association and fulfills various company needs as they arise. The records within the Dayton Ballet Company collection are divided into five series, I: Early Dance Companies and Support Groups, II: Schwarz School of the Dance, III: Dayton Ballet Dance Center, IV: Dayton Ballet School, and V: Dayton Civic Ballet/Dayton Ballet Company. Each series is further organized into subseries. The basic arrangement within each subseries is chronological, except for the performance photographs, which for the most part are stored in alphabetical order by the name of the ballet performed. Series I, Early Dance Companies and Support Groups, spans 1938-1960, and

    Valerie Roche ARAD Director Momix and the Omaha Ballet

    Celebrating 50 years of Dance The lights go down.The orchestra begins to play. Dancers appear and there’s magic on the stage. The Omaha Academy of Ballet, a dream by its founders for a school and a civic ballet company for Omaha, was realized by the gift of two remarkable people: Valerie Roche ARAD director of the school and the late Lee Lubbers S.J., of Creighton University. Lubbers served as Board President and production manager, while Roche choreographed, rehearsed and directed the students during their performances. The dream to have a ballet company for the city of Omaha had begun. Lubbers also hired Roche later that year to teach dance at the university. This decision helped establish the creation of a Fine and Performing Arts Department at Creighton. The Academy has thrived for 50 years, thanks to hundreds of volunteers, donors, instructors, parents and above all the students. Over the decades, the Academy has trained many dancers who have gone on to become members of professional dance companies such as: the American Ballet Theatre, Los Angeles Ballet, Houston Ballet, National Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, San Francisco Ballet, Minnesota Dance Theatre, Denver Ballet, Momix and the Omaha Ballet. Our dancers have also reached beyond the United States to join: The Royal Winnipeg in Canada and the Frankfurt Ballet in Germany.

Stravinsky is one of the most important neo-classical composers of the twentieth century. The purpose of this document is to examine how Stravinsky upholds his neoclassical aesthetic in his violin writing through his two pieces, Suite italienne and Duo Concertant. In these works, Stravinsky’s use of neoclassicism is revealed in two opposite ways. In Suite Italienne, Stravinsky based the composition upon actual music from the eighteenth century. In Duo Concertant, Stravinsky followed the stylistic features of the eighteenth century without parodying actual music from that era. Important types of violin writing are described in these two works by Stravinsky, which are then compared with examples of eighteenth-century violin writing. iii Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was born in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov) in Russia near St.

    2019–2020 SEASON Page 13 Message from the President Paul Helfrich, President & CEO, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Welcome to the Schuster Center and Dayton Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker! We’re glad you’re here. The holiday season is always a busy time for the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, and I want to make sure that you don’t miss any of it. We’re excited to be offering these performances of Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker with the sensational Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, and we’re also looking forward to a special presentation of the wonderful jazz music from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” with the Jim Martinez Quartet on December 28. Attending The Nutcracker with family and friends is a cherished holiday tradition. Other December traditions include the Philharmonic’s presentation of Handel’s Messiah on December 18 and our New Year’s Eve concert on December 31. There’s also our free “Bach’s Lunch” concerts with the Carillon Brass; two performances at the Loft Theatre on Friday, December 13. Mainstage performances like The Nutcracker are some of our most visible offerings, but equally important performances take place in classrooms all around the Miami Valley. Over 70,000 young people in the Miami Valley benefited from DPAA education programs in the past year, including the Dayton Ballet School, Philharmonic Ensembles, Opera on the Road, Q the Music, Young People’s and Magic Carpet Concerts, ArtsConnect, and the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, Youth Strings, and Junior Strings. Those programs are made possible through the support of generous contributors to our Annual Fund Campaign.
