Ballet Kelowna graced the stage of Prince Rupert含羞草研究社檚 Lester Centre of the Arts last Wednesday as they work their way through B.C. for a tour of their most popular works.
Ballet Kelowna reached out to the Lester Centre of the Arts and other presenters in Northwest B.C. months before the performance, said Michael Gurney, general manager of the Lester Centre.
含羞草研究社淚t was the beginning of a beautiful relationship and it is so gratifying to see the fruits of all those months of conversation in the form of a tantalizing, energetic and beautiful performance,含羞草研究社� he said.
The company arrived in town two days before the performance with their own technical crew and stage while the performers held master classes with Spectrum City Dance含羞草研究社檚 senior dancers.
含羞草研究社淚t was really inspiring to see that kind of technic because I have been dancing for a really long time and I know it is really hard to get up there. It was just incredible and really cool,含羞草研究社� Nathania Cam, one of Spectrum含羞草研究社檚 dancer, said about the master class.
