Dance Alive National Ballet & Pofahl Studios Present The Next Generation’s Fall Concert “to dance is to love, to love is to dance”
Dance Alive National Ballet’s student group, The Next Generation, takes the stage with a wildly varied concert. Co-Directors Rachel Ridley and Tales Ribeiro will take dancers and the audience on an exhilarating ride from classical dance to contemporary dance…. classical music to classic rock’s most popular music.... while choreography features the work of 10 different and wildly talented choreographers!
One of Brazil’s most famous choreographers, Cristina Helena, arrived in September to set 4 works on the young company. Ms. Helena, a delegate to UNESCO and former teacher for many of DANB’s principal dancers, stated while working with the group “I love” and “this is family”. Her words set the tone for the concert – “to dance is to love, to love is to dance”.
Ms. Helena shared her love with the dancers, and it was returned in full!
Additional works will feature the work of former guest artists and master teachers Kimmy Keck and Autumn Marie along with the work of DANB’s Kim Tuttle, Judy Skinner, Tales Ribeiro, Roberto Vega, and Rachel Ridley. “Let’s Get Loud”, a favorite student work from Spring 2023 by Madeleine Gurka and Gabriel Luna, will also be performed.
The finale will feature the entire company filling the stage with “Don’t Stop Me Now”!
This is a group that will not be stopped! From the youngest to the oldest they show us that “to dance is to love, to love is to dance”.
