Back to Top STUDENT COUNCIL: "RED CARPET" DANCE On Thursday April 2nd, the Student Council held their second dance of the year. With a "Red Carpet" theme, students dressed up as famous celebrities, movie characters, or paparazzi for the VIP event. Currie Hall was decorated with streamers, balloons, disco balls, and awesome posters and signs made by the students in Grade 6 and 7. Adding to the fun of the night, a real red carpet was placed so students could strut and strike a pose, while paparazzi flashed their cameras. Making the night even better, a live DJ was present, as well as a special treat by three Grade 11 students who performed Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" dance. Pizza, drinks, and delicious homemade treats and goodies were also sold. Students were able to have fun and let loose as Term Two came to a close. Thank you to all who made the "Red Carpet" Dance possible and a really enjoyable time for everyone who attended! Back to Top BALLET BITES: REBECCA'S RECIPES KINPARA FOR LATE SPRING May is that teaser season that gives us hope that summer is nearly here, yet often presents us with one last brief snowfall. We experience the same thing in the produce aisle at the grocery store. The summer harvest has yet to appear, but we find those first fresh, local signs that summer is indeed on its way. Radishes, fiddleheads, ramps, and burdock root are the first harvest of spring. Burdock root contains compounds that enhance liver function. It is also a good source of inulin, which helps boost the populations of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, the helpful strains of gut bacteria. Burdock root is also loaded with calcium, iron, thiamine (a B vitamin), zinc, magnesium, manganese, potassium and selenium. These nutrients are just what your body needs to shed the effects of winter's cold stasis and make the springtime transition into summer’s fiery heat. View full recipe... From Rebecca Dietzel's cookbook in progress. Rebecca, NBS's nutritionist, is an anatomy and biochemistry specialist and the co-author of A Dancer's Guide to Healthy Eating, published by NBS and available through The Shoe Room.

The future and sustainability of Canada’s National Ballet School is reliant on the generosity of our many dedicated supporters. Although we receive funding from the federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government, the School is increasingly reliant on self-generated revenue to meet its operating needs. Donations from individuals, corporations and foundations account for a significant portion of the School’s revenue, and we are proud to have cultivated a diverse range of donors who share the School’s commitment to helping young people achieve their full creative potential. Thank you!.

    VERONICA TENNANT, C.C. Contribution to DANCE in CANADA 1964-2018 During her illustrious career as Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, Veronica Tennant won a devoted following on the national and international stage as a dancer of versatility and dramatic power. At 18, the youngest Principal Dancer in the company Tennant was chosen by Celia Franca and John Cranko, for her debut as Juliet. She went on to earn accolades in every major classical role as well as having several contemporary ballets choreographed on her. She was chosen by, and worked with the legendary choreographers: Sir Frederick Ashton, Roland Petit, Erik Bruhn, John Neumeier and Jiri Kylian – and she in turn nurtured a younger generation of Canadian choreographers including James Kukelka, Anne Ditchburn, Constantin Patsalas and David Allan. For 25 years she danced across North and South America, Europe and Japan, dancing with the greatest male dancers of our time including; Erik Bruhn, Rudolf Nureyev, Anthony Dowell, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Edward Villella, Fleming Flindt, Peter Schaufuss, Niels Kehlet, Fernando Bujones, Ivan Nagy, Jean Pierre Bonnefous and Richard Cragun. She was blessed with her Canadian partners, from Earl Kraul (her first Romeo), to Lawrence Adams, Glenn Gilmour, Frank Augustyn, Sergiu Stefanschi, Kevin Pugh, Rex Harrington and Raymond Smith (her tenth Romeo). Two of the CBC television performances with Tennant in the title role; Cinderella and The Sleeping Beauty, won Emmy Awards. Her first, in Norman Campbell’s 1965 production of Romeo and Juliet won Le Prix Barthelmy in Monte Carlo. Veronica Tennant gave her farewell performances in 1989 – dancing her signature role in, Romeo and Juliet and in the Gala – A Passion For Dance – Celebrating the Tennant Magic.

    Veronica Tennant, C.C. Prima Ballerina Bio & Resume Veronica Tennant, during her illustrious 25-year career as Prima Ballerina with The National Ballet of Canada - won a devoted following on the international stage as a dancer of extraordinary versatility and dramatic power. Born in London England, Veronica Tennant started ballet lessons at four at the Arts Educational School, and with her move to Canada at the age of nine, started training with Betty Oliphant and then the National Ballet School. While she missed a year on graduation due to her first back injury, she entered the company in 1964 as its youngest principal dancer. Tennant was chosen by Celia Franca and John Cranko for her debut as Juliet. She went on to earn accolades in every major classical role and extensive neo-classical repertoire as well as having several contemporary ballets choreographed for her. She worked with the legendary choreographers; Sir Frederick Ashton, Roland Petit, Jiri Kylian, John Neumeier, and championed Canadian choreographers such as James Kudelka, Ann Ditchburn, Constantin Patsalas and David Allan. She danced across North and South America, Europe and Japan, with the greatest male dancers of our time, including Erik Bruhn (her mentor), and Rudolf Nureyev, Anthony Dowell, Peter Schaufuss, Fernando Bujones and Mikhail Baryshnikov (immediately after he defected in Toronto, 1974). She was cast by Erik Bruhn to dance his La Sylphide with Niels Kehlet when Celia Franca brought The National Ballet of Canada to London England for the first time in 1972; and was Canada’s 'first Aurora' dancing in the premiere of Rudolf Nureyev's Sleeping Beauty September 1, 1972 and at the company's debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, 1973.

  • Genée International Ballet Competition 2012
    Genée International Ballet Competition 2019 Candidate Information Pack Mission Statement The Genée International Ballet Competition is dedicated to promoting and rewarding standards of excellence in young ballet dancers internationally. This is achieved by offering aspiring dancers the unique opportunity to work with world-renowned choreographers and professionals, as well as the chance to perform on an international stage. The Competition The Genée International Ballet Competition represents the pinnacle of achievement for young people trained in the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus. The competition identifies talented young dancers and often launches them into a professional career. The competition originated quite humbly in 1931 as the ‘Adeline Genée Gold Medal’ and was introduced as an additional incentive for candidates who had passed the Solo Seal examination. Felicity Garratt was the first recipient of this award; other medals were later added: the silver (1934), bronze (1956), and gold and silver for male dancers (1938). The award continued to progress and develop into a competition format and remarkably it has taken place almost every year since 1931, even during the Second World War. In 2002, Luke Rittner, the RAD’s Chief Executive, took the landmark decision to hold the competition outside London in order to embrace its international spirit, taking it to Australia where Sydney Opera House played host to a record number of candidates. Since 2002, the competition has been held in cities across the world including Singapore, Cape Town, London, Sydney, Lisbon and Hong Kong. In 2019, we are delighted that the Genée will be returning to Toronto, after its debut there in 2008.

    À propos de la Tournée nationale d’auditions de l’École nationale de ballet du Canada About Canada’s National Ballet School’s National Audition Tour About NBS’ National Audition Tour Tour Artistic Staff: Ashleigh Powell Deborah Hess Raymond Smith Alexander Gorbatsevich About NBS’ National Audition Tour Talent is the sole criterion for acceptance into NBS' full-time program. Admission to the Professional Ballet Program is based on a two-stage audition process. Every Fall/Winter, a team of Canada's National Ballet School artistic staff travel across the country on a National Audition Tour (NAT), stopping in 20 or more Canadian cities and towns and offering open classes and auditions. The NAT is the first stage of the audition process, while the Summer School Program is the second stage. Through NAT auditions, over 1,000 students apply for admission to the School's full-time program every year. Roughly 150 of these applicants are invited to join current NBS students for the intensive Summer School program in July, and of these, approximately 50 are offered a place in the full-time Professional Ballet and Post-Secondary Programs. Fees for the Professional Ballet Program are subsidized through government and private sector funding. In addition, an extensive bursary program is in place in the Ballet Academic Program (Grade 6 to 12 and the Post-Secondary Program) to ensure that no talented student is prevented from attending NBS because of financial circumstances. As a national training institution NBS offers bursaries to Canadian students and approximately half of all resident students receive bursary assistance.
