This spectacular full-length production has been hailed as one of the finest of its kind anywhere in the world of ballet and theater. All the beauty, humor, adventure and tragedy of the frightening urgency of youth is danced to the brilliant and emotive score of Sergei Prokofiev, performed live by the Symphony Silicon Valley.

Dennis Nahat's theatrically intimate choreography grips the senses and compels us to believe again in love at first sight. This is Ballet on a grand scale with forty-five dancers, full symphony orchestra and three-acts of glorious spectacle featuring lavish masked balls, electrifying sword-fights, and secret rendezvous culminating in one of the most moving tragedies in stage history. Ballet San Jose proves that love needs no words.

Nahat's Moments is a pure movement expression of the dazzling Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 49 by Felix Mendelssohn and showcases the individual talents of the Company members. The joyful finale suggests a Gypsy-like charactère dance of passion and tenderness.Salut D'Amour is a ballet for three couples celebrating their friendship and affection for each other. Set to the sweetly elegiac music for piano and violin of Sir Edward Elgar and reflecting the period of youth without caresin a world about to change forever. Mahler was awarded a Choreographers Fellowship in 1992 by the National Endowment for the Arts. The piece had its premier in 1987 with Ballet Mississippi. This will be its San Jose premiere. This program is rounded out by the toe-tapping, hand-clapping, finger-snapping fun; that's Square Dance, a lickety-split hoedown. Classical ballet takes an over-the-shoulder look at its folkdance roots complete with live on-stage "caller."

event Type: dance

According to Balanchine's own notes on the ballet, it was Stravinsky who hit upon the idea of a suite of dances based on a 17th century manual of French court dances--sarabandes, gillards, branles. The title of the ballet, Agon, is the Greek word for contest, protagonist, as well as agony or struggle. In addition to the court dances, a traditional classic pas de deux is added. The ballet is in three parts, performed without interruption. The first part consists of a pas de quatre for four boys, a double pas de quatre for eight girls and a triple pas de quatre for all twelve dancers. Then two girls and a boy dance a pas de trios. The boy dances a sarabande. The two girls dance a gaillard. A pas de trios is replaced by another and the second part of the ballet begins with three branles. Next comes the pas de deux with variations for the boy and the girl. The music for the first movement of the ballet is repeated and the piece ends as it began, with four boys dancing alone. Jardin aux Lilas is a dramatic ballet in one act; a tragedy of manners. A haunting story about a marriage of convenience set in England in the late 19th Century. A moonlit garden filled with lilacs, but still dark and foreboding set the scene as Caroline, a young bride, bids farewell to her lover while her financé (whom she does not love) parts with his mistress. Jardin Aux Lilas (Lilac Garden) was one of the first ballets by English choreographer and dancer Antony Tudor to be staged in the United States. Léonide Massine's fabulous Gaîté Parisienne danced to a score by Jacques Offenbach rounds out the program. A story of romance and high spirits set in a turn-of-the-century café, this mini-ballet features the rousing and uninhibited Can-Can in a tale of the nightlife of old Paris.

This class is a musical preschool. We start in a circle and sing songs as we warm up and relax. Most of the class is sung. We cover basic ballet terminology and simple movements, moving like animals and such. For tap we concentrate on rhythm. But making noise with the different parts of our feet is great! We end with acrobatics. Here we work on flexibility and the basic movements, as well as the hardest thing, waiting your turn. A song and dance is introduced for both tap and ballet. Class is structured to be fun.

OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.

When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.

It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.

OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.
