What is “We Call It Ballet”?
For centuries, ballet has evolved as an art form. Gone are the days when performers wore heavy court fashions, sweated under elaborate wigs, and danced as part of royal spectacles rather than as a distinct art form. Today, ballet stands on its own, celebrated for its grace, storytelling, and global appeal. This unique dance and light show honors ballet’s timeless influence while embracing modern innovation.
The 60-minute performance features LED-fitted costumes, creating a dazzling experience designed to captivate a broader audience.
Ballet, its storytelling and the show
Of course, local talented ballet dancers will take center stage, showcasing their control, poise, and symmetry. Complementing their lyrical steps, a narrator will guide audiences through the story—a helpful touch, as ballet storylines can be challenging to follow without some explanation. The narration makes Tchaikovsky’s iconic ballet more accessible.
Between the illuminated elegance of the dancers’ artistry, the moving melodies, and the narrator’s guiding hand, you’ll find yourself drawn deeper and deeper into the story.
So, we already know that ballet is intricate, imperial, and dramatic. Thanks to We call it Ballet, you can experience its traditional beauty in a contemporary light. Find a date that works for you in the coming months and be swept away by a unique take on Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece.
