A Dancer's Work

Do we always need a reason or story behind our artistic creations? Some choreographers create based on personal experience, while others just want to create movements without a story-line.


Stay tuned...you will hear what was behind each creation from the choreographer themselves.

Bravo Media Ballet! For a young Ballet company this is one great example of classical and contemporary talent!
The mix of dancers and their technique is excellent!
This is the next generation of ballet companies.

I absolutely loved being a part of this production. Learning different choreography, some that was in fact out of my comfort zone, was a really great experience. The different choreographers who are wonderful people and dancers themselves really showcased not only their choreography but each dance really was a reflection of their personality and personal style. Varying from pure classical to classical with a twist, to contemporary and then hip hop I think it was a great idea for not only the community to see a different side of MCB but also for the opportunity for the dancers ourselves to grow. I'm looking forward to more events like this!
