Earthkalah Opens This Week!

Princess Golah and the
Evil Sorcerer Greedious, in rehearsal

This year's All School Production will open this weekend, Friday at 6:30, Saturday and Sunday at 4pm in the Vincent Paul Black Box Theatre.

Earthkalah is a contemporary fairy tale, inspired by a trip Miss Angela took to the desert with Shirley MacLaine. Written by Executive Director Angela Amoroso, the narrated contemporary ballet illuminates the vision that together, we may have the courage to live our lives to the fullest and to contribute to humanity with a sense of selfless joy rather than selfish destruction.

Earthkalah has been performed several times since it's 1988 premiere and has become an audience favorite and a Scripps Performing Arts Staple! As a narrated ballet whose characters include bunnies, birds, flowers, mermaids and fisher boys, it's great for small children!

Earthkalah will be presented with Les Rendez-vous, a one act ballet about friends gathering in a park, performed by the Scripps Ballet Theatre.

This cast features dancers aged 3-19 years old and we hope to see you there!

Same Student During SPAA
Intensive Performance 2011

For the Serious Dancer, the Summer is a great time to focus on artistic training without the distractions of the school year. Our Pre-Professional and Intermediate Intensive Programs, designed for serious dancers aged 10-19 years old, balance the high demand of classical ballet, with the nurturing and guidance necessary for long term success. Daily ballet, pointe and variations classes, with traditional character dance immerses aspiring dancers in the rich tradition that is classical ballet. Students are also exposed to weekly Jazz and Modern classes as versatility is a necessity in the current dance climate. Class sizes are kept small (12-14 or less) and guest and current faculty are selected for their technical knowledge and experience as much as their personality and ability to nurture the best in students as dancers and individuals.

Summer is coming and we're looking forward to the beautiful San Diego weather and studios full of excited, young artists!
