The Magic of Dance
THIS WEEKEND don’t miss The Little Mermaid presented by the Charleston Ballet at the Black Box Theatre on King Street. It’s part of their Children Series and kids will love it. There’s also a special twist to this production. The familiar musical numbers of “Kiss the Girl” and “Under the Sea” will be brought to life with video scenery provided by Sunhead Projects.
This version of the beloved tale was choreographed by CBT’s ballet master, Stephen Gabriel, who says, “It’s a fusion of ballet and Broadway danced by professional dancers and some of the most talented students in Charleston”—who, by the way, come from Stephen’s “Broadway Dance Project” and whom were chosen from auditions. During the year they perform in CBT’s Children Series as well as at Piccolo Spoleto.
Stephen adds, “I have had some of these same students for five or more years and have seen them grow to become stellar performers. Guiding them through their artistic growth and seeing them enjoy that time on stage is quite extraordinary.”
You’ll think so, too. Come enjoy a delightful show. Introduce your kids to the wonder and majesty of ballet.
