Jan 14, 2010 (San Francisco, CA). The first parent observation was most enjoyable. The remarkable thing was how well synchronized the whole class was. They looked like “Corps de Ballet” as they danced in perfect unison through complex sequences. So beautiful.
Her teacher is Yoira Esquivel Brito.
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!
The Spring Student Showcase will be on May 12, 2009 at 6:30 PM for Ballet 2C Open Division.
The spring semester started on Jan 27, 2009 and ends May 23, 2009.
The Parent Observation Week at BSJS allows parents, relatives and friends of students at the Ballet San Jose School to observe a regular class. This is one of two opportunities through the year to observe students in class.
Class observation week was a time of great pride for the students as they’d worked hard over the past year to perfect their technique and show their skills to their parents and friends. They are now at a bridge to serious professional study. Two more years and they will be en-pointe. They are all eligible to audition for the Summer Intensive Camp in July. The audition will be on March 28, 2009.
