Students from The School of Ballet Arizona will present their annual Fall Showcase in November.

The production takes place Nov. 17-19 at Ballet Arizona’s Dorrance Theatre, at 2835 E. Washington St., in Phoenix, with Phoenix Youth Symphony Orchestras.

The performance will celebrate the accomplishments of these students and give audiences the opportunity to experience a show featuring the next generation of performing artists in Phoenix.

Intermediate to advanced-level students on the verge of professional careers will perform an excerpt from “La Bayadere, Act II” as well as other pieces choreographed by The School of Ballet Arizona faculty. “La Bayadere” is a classic ballet set in the ancient Royal India, that tells the story of eternal love, mystery, fate, vengeance, and justice.

“We are so excited to showcase the talent, artistry and passion of these young dancers and musicians,” Maria Simonetti, The School of Ballet Arizona director, shared in a press release. “With each performance, these dancers and musicians grow in their ability to perform in a professional setting with music and dance combined.”

The School of Ballet Arizona is the only professional school to offer live music through a youth symphony orchestra with its performances. In addition to performing works choreographed for professional companies, students have the opportunity to perform with live music for both its spring and fall showcases.

Tickets are available at balletaz.org or by calling 602-381-1096.
