Sponsored by the Scottsdale Ballet Foundation, the Scottsdale School of Ballet is happy to return to the Herberger Theater for our 8th season presenting our annual “Soiree de Ballet 2018.” The evening features the perennial favorite, “The Ballet Class,” where the audience gets a look into the training of a ballet student, from the beginning steps through the Advanced level. We always pride ourselves in presenting am original one-act ballet, which provides an opportunity for the entire school to work in am atmosphere as they would with an actual company. The second offering of the evening is “The Seasons,” with original choreography by Donald and Sibylle Dadey. Set to the mellifluous score by Alexander Glazunov, you will find yourself whisked delightfully through all four seasons.

For the finale, we present our highlights from the 3rd Act of “Coppelia,” with variations set to the wonderful music of Leon Delibes, exquisitely restaged after one of the classical masters by Sibylle  Acatos-Dadey,  and with additional choreography by her, and director Donald Dadey. This ballet is a fun and enjoyable piece and a must see for all ages!

In addition to these wonderful ballets we are delighted to feature choreography from our wonderful faculty with Julia Chacon’s Flamenco and Joan Rodriguez-Hernandez Contemporary Dance.

Robrt L. Pela of the Phoenix New Times wrote “Scottsdale School of Ballet, under the direction of big-deal dance mavens, Sibylle Acatos-Dadey and Donald Dadey, has gotten raves for its annual ‘An Evening of Ballet’ spring performance at the Herberger.”
