The show was a success. This is what one of our spectators wrote about it:
Master Ballet Academy's Annual Spring Show
by Karly Williams
I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon at Master Ballet Academy's Annual Spring Show. I attended with my husband, and several dear friends, and we were all deeply impressed by the quality of the production. Our community is fortunate to have such an outstanding dance academy for our young people. It is a rare privilege to have world class dancers, brilliant, experienced, and passionate, to instruct, encourage, and mentor our children. The cast of performers was well taught and well rehearsed, and danced with energy and joy. The audience was rewarded by a caliber of entertainment that far exceeded in value the price of our tickets.
Following the show, my group went out to dinner. Our conversation around the table was peppered with enthusiastic gushings about our wonderful experience at the ballet! Of course we raved about the choreography, the costumes, the music, the lighting, the sets, the venue: but above all else, we expressed our delight with the amazing dancing! The enactment of the tragic story of Carmen and Don Jose was fresh and powerful, vigorous and intense. The characterizations portrayed by the performers were subtle, finely nuanced, and surprisingly mature. Each dancer, whether soloist or member of the corps, added grace and dimension to the over-all impact and success of this incredible rendition of "Carmen."
The second portion of the show, The Best of MBA, was thrilling. It was fun to see the contemporary and jazz numbers, together with the classical ballet. The talent of the participants in these complex numbers was clearly evidenced in their brilliant technique. It will be soul satisfying to watch these up-and-coming performers as they continue to grow and develop. The "Power to Wow" will make true stars of those dancers willing to "give it their all." But more important still, will be their sense of satisfaction in being a part of something as wonderful as the "World of Dance!"
