AMS has been invited to attend formal ballet studies at SFBS for the 2009-2010 school year. She has been placed in the “Level 2 Girls – Technique” class. She’s therefore eligible to audition for the professional production of San Francisco Ballet’s “The Nutcracker”.
START: August 31, 2009
END: June 4, 2010
Ballet 2A Girls – Technique: Mon, Wed, Fri 5:45-7:00 pm
Ballet 2B Girls – Technique: Tue, Thu 5:45-7:00 pm & Sat 10:00-11:15 am
After auditioning two times before, AMS had a third audition on May 2. The following week, SFBS called and asked her to come back to join a Level 3 class for further evaluation. The class was clearly over her head but she did the best she could.
She received an invitation today (May 15) to attend the 2009-2010 school year in Level 2. We don’t know yet whether she’ll be in 2A or 2B.
CONGRATULATIONS!
AMS has been assigned to the Level IIB (Tues/Thurs/Sat) class.
Her teacher is : Yoira Esquivel Brito
AMS was too tall to try out for the Nutcracker Ballet. The maximum height for Level IIB is 4? – 7 and she’s 4? – 8 1/2. This will actually be to her advantage next year in Level III where she’ll be able to audition for more roles and there won’t be a height restriction.
Amelia continues at SFBS… it’s been a long journey. Such a big commitment. Now towards the Student Showcase in May 2010.
May 20. Level 6 Men’s class observed AMS Level II class and AMS’ class observed the Level 6 dancers in their class. AMS noted they demonstrated pas de deux in their class with the Level 6 Women’s class. These are all stepping stones to intermediate studies.
