Choreographed by Susan Trevino, "Gaite
Parisienne" is a tale of the
night-life of old nineteenth-century
Paris, taking place in the most
popular room of a fashionable
Parisian restaurant. It was a time
when love was brief and casual, but
intense, and when the day began at
nine o'clock in the evening. The
characters: The Flower Girl, The
Mysterious Lady in Red, The Opera
Star, The Austrian Baron, The Old
General, The Dandy, Can Can Girls
and Waiters and Waitresses, all
weave a tale of fun and intrigue.
Flirtations grow into arguments, and
arguments begin a fight, which
develops into a general brawl. The
Baron and General battle for the
affections of The Opera Star,
and finally love is restored to all
with the true partner. The happy
ending carries good spirits long
into the night! |

Company choreographer Darrell
Cleveland will premiere his new
ballet, "Flashpoint" at the upcoming
Ballet Ensemble of Texas
performances. A section of this
ballet was recently awarded the top
choreography prize at the recent "Pulse"
convention by such noted judges as
Mia Michaels and Wade Robson. |

The Ballet Ensemble of Texas will
perform for the first time the
charming ballet from the 19th
century, "La Vivandiere Pas de
Six". This ballet is in the
repertoires of such well known
companies as the Joffrey Ballet, and
consists of challenging variations
in the Bournonville style. It was
staged for the Ballet Ensemble by
the director of the Interlochen
Performing Arts School, Cameron
Basden. |

Ballet Ensemble of Texas will
perform the stunning neo-classical
ballet, "Capriccios", choreographed
by former Joffrey Ballet principal
dancer Trinette Singleton. Set to
the beautiful music of
Shostakovich's Piano Concerto # 2,
the company recently performed a
section of the ballet at the opening
ceremonies of the new Performing
Arts Center in downtown Dallas.
They will also perform this ballet
at the Youth Dance Festival in Ft.
Worth on Saturday, January 30th. |

The GOAL of the Ballet Academy of Texas
is to provide quality, professional
dance instruction for all ages.
The primary focus is on classical
ballet technique which provides a
strong foundation for all other
dance forms. Our goal for the
recreational dancer is to gain
self-confidence through the physical
and mental accomplishments that come
from positive dance instruction.
The professional background of the
directors and staff will provide the
more serious student with the
knowledge and training necessary to
prepare for a career in dance.
The school was awarded the
OUTSTANDING SCHOOL award
for the Southwest area at the Youth
America Grand Prix, an International
Ballet Competition, in 2005,2006,
and 2007.
The Ballet Academy of Texas
opened a new, state-of-the-art
11,000 sq. ft. facility in October,
2005. It consists of four
large studios, all with sprung
marley flooring, viewing areas into
all the studios, and two large
waiting areas. It is conveniently
located in the center of Coppell
near the corner of Sandy Lake Rd.
and Denton Tap Rd., just south of
I-121. |
