  • A New Ballet Company Comes to Wake Forest!
    A New Ballet Company comes to Wake Forest! My name is Ruth Leney-Midkiff and I am the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of the Wake Forest Civic Ballet (WFCB). Twelve years ago, Patty Ogden, Owner and Director of Destiny Dance Institute (DDI), asked me to develop a high caliber ballet program for young dancers at DDI. We now have what is recognized as one of the top ballet programs in the Triangle area. What began as a single weekly class so long ago has blossomed into a fully-developed, Pre-Professional curriculum. We now have five levels and a permanent faculty of six instructors, who come to us with outstanding credentials from schools and companies worldwide. Our most advanced young dancers attend class five times weekly, and have been invited to study at some of our nation’s most prestigious dance schools including: Pacific Northwest Ballet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Richmond Ballet, Charlotte Ballet, and Carolina Ballet. Some have gone on to dance professionally, and many are enthusiastically aspiring to careers as young dance artists. In 2010, we founded the Destiny Dance Institute Ballet Company (DDIBC), which gave our dancers a vehicle to perform both classical and contemporary repertoire. From Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, to Stravinsky’s Firebird and guest artist Bill de Young’s edgy “Slate,” our dancers have leapt and twirled their way into the world of dance. Our success is built upon a commitment to hard work, quality training, and excellence in production. DDIBC has used its resources to foster the arts in our community, not only by hiring instructors and choreographers, but also by engaging local seamstresses, set designers, lighting designers, photographers, actors and more.

This always popular, often sold out, in-studio production might feel a little different this year, but the process and the intimacy remain. As always the final production features new works by dancers from the Company, as well as a piece by San Francisco-based guest choreographer, Danielle Rowe, this time created remotely, from a screen to our studio.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 27, 2012 Contact: Erika Overturff, (402) 541-6946 IT’S A SEASON OF THREES FOR BALLET NEBRASKA’S SEASON 3 OMAHA -- The dancers of Ballet Nebraska, the region’s only professional dance company, will start work Tuesday on what artistic director Erika Overturff is calling “our season of threes”: the company’s third performance season, featuring three different programs in three different venues, plus a new collaboration with Opera Omaha that will see Ballet Nebraska dancers featured in all three opera productions. “It’s a challenging schedule, but dancers love challenges!” Overturff said. “We’re really excited about being able to bring such a wide spectrum of ballet to so many audiences.” The season will open October 19 and 21 at Joslyn Art Museum’s Witherspoon Concert Hall with Momentum, Ballet Nebraska’s annual “mixed-repertory” program consisting of short ballets in a diverse range of styles. This season’s Momentum program, Overturff said, consists entirely of contemporary works: dances created by currently active present-day choreographers. The all-contemporary program gives the audience a chance to see the wide range of styles that make up today’s ballet vocabulary, Overturff said, and also ties in with Joslyn’s exhibit Under Pressure: Contemporary Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, which will be on view October 6, 2012, through January 6, 2013. Other mainstage productions on the season will be: • The Nutcracker, November 30 at the IWCC Arts Center in Council Bluffs,
