Ballet & Hip Hop & Movement, Oh My!

World Ballet Will Host Open House on January 7th 

by Tony Miller, Grapevine Staff

 

 

When I went to visit World Ballet's facilities earlier this year, I was impressed. The studio was clean and professional and they even had a kitchen and locker rooms for the dancers.

 

Now I want to personally invite you to come tour the facility yourself on Saturday, January 7th from 1pm to 4pm. 

 

World Ballet is led by artistic director, Henry Hernandez, who was a principal dancer for 27 years with such companies as Ballet Teresa Carreno and Ballet Royal de Wallonie. He has been choreographing since 1999 for companies in Orlando and was with Tallahassee Ballet from 2006 to 2008.

 

World Ballet offers professional world-class instruction, a rigorous, pre-professional ballet program based on the Vaganova Method.

 

WBI also offers Pre-Ballet, Pre-Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Boys Class, Stretch/Conditioning, Adult Classes,  Modern, Hip-Hop (with the FAMU Strikers) and Private Ballet Lessons.

 

They also have the World Ballet Company, that performs several productions every year, including "World of Rock" and "Nutcracker: A Diversity Celebration."

 

Recent highlights in include World Ballet student & dancer was a Semi-Finalist in the Youth America Grande Prix and another student was accepted into the University of North Carolina School of the Arts Summer Program.

 

World Ballet has also been invited to perform at the 2013 Orange Bowl.
