Sleeping Beauty
Join the Heart ballet dancers in the re-telling of the classic story, Sleeping Beauty. Set to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the story revolves around Princess Aurora and a curse placed upon her by the evil fairy Carabosse, which the good Lilac Fairy alters to a 100-year sleep instead of death. Dancers from Saturday ballet 1 to adult ballet class to our pre professionals join together under the direction of Sachi Kambara to entertain you, and take your breath away with this magical and stunning production of Sleeping Beauty.
Alien Unknown
An original piece written by Amy Rutherford, Alien Unknown follows the story of our graduate, Amelia, as she heads out into the big, strange world. She approaches her journey with an open heart and mind, excited to meet new challenges, take risks and meet her adventure head-on as she faces government agents, militia, orphans and aliens. Performed by the Heart’s Pre Professional classes, with a prologue by Beat Street 3, 4, 5, Alien Unknown is bound to be a memorable experience, with incredible large dance numbers choreographed by visiting choreographer Melanie DeMalo and our own Violetta Umanes.
