Hey darlings! It’s your favourite tutu-obsessed ballerina, Emma, here, and the Boston ballet scene is absolutely buzzing with summer delights. Let's dive into all the exciting happenings!
Firstly, the weather's glorious, which means I'm practically living in my summer ballet gear – think light fabrics, breezy tutus, and gorgeous floral prints. (Seriously, a pink floral leotard with a matching chiffon skirt is all I need for my blissful dance classes.)
Now, speaking of dance classes, Boston Ballet School's Summer Intensive is a real game-changer for budding dancers like myself! From August 2nd to 24th, the school is offering various programmes, from introductory classes to full-on intensives. It's the perfect chance to elevate your technique, discover new styles, and build connections with other ballet lovers.
But wait, there's more! The glorious Boston Ballet itself is throwing a Summer Dance Party on August 10th, and oh, darling, you don’t want to miss this. The event is jam-packed with all things ballet: performances from the incredible dancers, behind-the-scenes peeks, interactive activities for all ages, and (gasp!) a costume exhibition! I’m already planning my outfit – a vibrant pink cocktail dress with a subtle ballet-inspired touch, perhaps?
And just as I was dreaming about graceful movements and gorgeous costumes, my ears perked up at the mention of a brand new ballet piece. The Boston Ballet has commissioned a summer-themed ballet titled "Under the Tuscan Sun" from acclaimed choreographer, Jean-Marc André. Featuring music by Italian composer, Ennio Morricone, the performance is set to be a captivating and atmospheric spectacle. Imagine a dazzling display of movement inspired by sun-drenched Tuscan landscapes! Chef’s kiss
On top of all these incredible happenings, Boston Ballet School's Summer Showcase on August 17th offers a captivating glimpse into the burgeoning talent of the next generation of dancers. Imagine watching these young stars in their graceful leaps and intricate footwork - a perfect blend of skill and raw passion.
To top it off, don’t forget to head down to the Boston Ballet’s charming shop for your ballet essentials, from cute little ballet shoes for tiny tots to luxurious pointe shoes for those aspiring professionals. It's the perfect place to find those quintessential ballet pieces and pamper your inner ballerina.
