Week 5

As week five nears to an end, we are thrilled with the work everyone has displayed and the passion we have seen. Young Choreographers week is a special week for us here at Burklyn. It is a perfect opportunity to give young dancers who have the desire to choreograph a venue to display their talents.

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not Ballet is purifying, every danced at least once." .....Friedrich Nietzsche movement physically honed and essential, with no superfluity or excess. ‐ Jennifer Homans

Edinburgh Connection 2015

Alice in Wonderland is in full swing! It's been a great adventure revisiting this ballet with an incredible young cast. As we prepare for the trip to Scotland our dancers are finding their way into the roles of these crazy characters of this strange world. The preview performance is on August 2 at 2:30 pm and will be a true adventure for all ages!

Pas de Quatre

On the night it premiered in London, July 12, 1845, the ballet caused a sensation with the critics and the public alike. The reason for this was that it brought together, on one stage, the four greatest ballerinas of the time ‐ in order of appearance, and by age from youngest to eldest, Lucile Grahn, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Cerrito, and Marie Taglioni.
