Boca Raton’s local Ballet Theatre, known for their compelling performances and outreach dance programs, recently released their June edition of features. Included in their features, is a special on two elite members of their upcoming summer performance of La Sylphide.
La Sylphide is the centuries old tale of a Scotsman named James falling hopelessly in love on his wedding day, but not to his bride. Rather, James falls for a magical sylph, or an imaginary spirit, in a performance nothing short of enchanting and elegant.
New York City Ballet’s Emma Von Enck and Anthony Huxley are renowned ballet dancers known for previous magical performances in BBT’s The Nutcracker. Both NYCB dancers are excited to rejoin the Boca Ballet Theatre for another show stopping performance.
La Sylphide will be performed on Saturday, July 27th at 7:30 PM, and Sunday, July 28th at 2:00 PM. It will be hosted at the Countess de Hoernle Theatre at Spanish River High School.
During the summer, the BBT also conducts workshops for aspiring dancers of all ages. The BBT hosts multiple Youth Summer Workshops, including the short and sweet Princess Ballerina Camp, and Workshops A, B, and C for young ballerinas of differing levels.
In addition, the BBT will be hosting the College Dance Fair from August 30th to September 1st, 2024. Participating students will have the opportunity to meet representatives from prestigious dance programs across the country, including NYC Tisch, AMDA, and more.
Celebrate NYCB and BBT’s accredited dancers in their final summer performance of the season, and commemorate the wonderful outreach dance programs happening in our neighborhood!
