  • Seiskaya Ballet's the Nutcracker Soars with Young Talent
    SMITHTOWN’S FIRST NEWSPAPER HEAD OF THE HARBOR, NISSEQUOGUE, VILLAGE OF THE BRANCH, COMMACK, STONY BROOK Thursday - January 5, 2017 Bringing Home The News Since 1887 Subscription $23.00 per year Vol. 129 No. 06 • 75¢ Seiskaya Ballet’s The Nutcracker Soars with Young Talent By: Christina Pandolfi For the past 21 years, Valia Seiskaya’s rendition of this holiday classic has delighted audiences, thanks to its rich choreography and grandeur. But what set this year’s production apart was the plethora of young talent that took the stage. Developing ballerinas discovered their artistry with true grace and made each part their own with confidence, far beyond their years. A perfect example of this? The lissome Brianna Jimenez as Clara, who brought the role to life with fervent passion, reminiscent of a simpler time. Beginning in Act I at the Stahlbaum holiday party, Jimenez’s sculpted legs and arches punctuated every tour jeté and arabesque with pristine energy. She entertained her friends with subtle authority and yearned for her precious nutcracker with childlike innocence. It was exciting watching her grow into the performance. Clara’s precocious brother, Fritz, danced by the petite Sugar Plum Diana Atoian exploded onto the stage in a series of magnificent split jumps. Lara Caraiani, was the perfect counterpart, dancing with grace and All photos courtesy of Erik Muller. accuracy shown in a lovely set of fouetté turns. Clara’s precious Nutcracker reappeared to defend her honor, this time in human form. Portrayed by a promising Max Lippman, the Nutcracker Prince battled the Mouse King with power and determination.

The older dance styles that were created in the 1970s include up-rock, breaking, and the funk styles. At the same time breaking was developing in New York, other styles were being created in California. Several street dance styles created in California in the 1970s such as roboting, bopping, hitting, locking, bustin', popping, electric boogaloo, strutting, sac-ing, and dime-stopping. It is historically inaccurate to say that the funk styles were always considered hip-hop. "Hip-Hop Dance" became an umbrella term encompassing all of these styles. Tempo of the Music: Tempo: 27 - 28 bars per minute (108 - 112 beats per minute) Characteristics and Movement: Different new dance styles, such as Quick Popping Crew, Asian style, African style, Hype Dance, New-Jack-Swing, Popping & Locking, Jamming, etc., adding creative elements such as stops, jokes, flashes, swift movements, etc. Some Electric and Break movements can be performed but should not dominate. Floor figures are very popular but should not dominate the performance.

  • Nutcracker Program 2014Opt.Pdf
    Nutcrackerthe SEISKAYA BALLET Nutcrackerthe Casse Noisette Early in 1891 the legendary composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky received a commission from the Imperial Theatre Directorate at St. Petersburg to compose a one-act lyric opera together with a ballet for presentation during the following season. Accepting Tchaikovsky’s choice of sub- ject for the opera, the Theatre Directorate selected Alexandre Dumas’ French adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, for the ballet. Tchaikovsky was not pleased with the subject selection because he felt it did not lend itself to theatrical presentation and was therefore quite unsuited to serve as a scenario for a ballet. Both the opera and ballet were presented on December 18, 1892. The ballet, conducted by Ric- cardo Drigo, was received somewhat unfavorably. Dance historians have attributed this to the Nutcracker’s unusual story, which was quite different from the romantic tales normally presented. The Nutcracker choreography was begun by the redoubtable Marius Petipa. The balance of the work was taken up by his assistant Leon Ivanov when Petipa fell ill. According to historical accounts, when the ballet was finally produced, Petipa refused to have his name linked with it, feeling his own part in its creation was insufficient to be publicly announced. However, dance historians have recognized his contribu- tion, and the original choreography is generally credited to both Petipa and Ivanov. First presented in Western Europe by the Sadler’s Wells Ballet at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, January 30, 1934, the production was staged by Nicholas Sergeyev after the original Petipa-Ivanov version.

  • Jazz Team Requirements
    Jazz Team Requirements All jazz teams will be placed based on the level of technique each dancer displays while performing a variety of turn combinations, extensions, leaps and jumps. The strength and sharpness in their movements and strong ballet technique will also be highly taken into consideration when placing girls on jazz teams. Jazz teams will be forty-five minute teams that meet once a week. Ballet attendance will be crucial. One hour or two hours of ballet a week will be required based on the level of jazz team. One forty-five minute leaps and turns will be required for each dancer no matter what jazz level they are placed on. **Skills to be observed during weekly summer classes in our July session: Dancers do not need to be able to do all skills listed in each section. The more skills they are able to do with correct body placement, arm placement and technique will have them placed on a higher level of jazz team.

However, if you want the utmost efficiency, consistent improvement, and balanced abilities sportsmen and women must participate in year round conditioning programs.
