The New Classical Ballet Theatre

If you’re thinking about going to DC to look for a dance performance that offers something new and refreshing, well...think again! On February 13, 2015 at the Reston Community Center, Classical Ballet Theatre (CBT) will be presenting An Evening with Classical Ballet Theatre.

Bring your date -- Virginia is for dance lovers!!!

For the last 25 years, CBT has been educating and inspiring kids through the art of classical ballet in Northern Virginia, thanks to the vision, commitment, and relentless dedication of its founder and Executive Director, Cynthia Donavin. This established organization seeks to strengthen its links with its community by presenting innovative dance outside of the classical repertoire, and, on Friday, February 13th, we will enjoy an exciting taste of this work – just in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

With a fierce group of volunteers and the addition of Dubraskha Arrivillaga and Gillmer Duran to its faculty, CBT is taking a new turn towards a more relevant and balanced dance experience for young and contemporary adults.

“Going forward, our students not only will learn to love the classical repertoire, but also they will learn to love, move, and perform different choreographic styles that make them more competitive and in-tune with what is happening in the global dance world today…,” explained Duran.

He furthered, “We understand that kids these days have multiple activities to choose from. At CBT, we require commitment and discipline from them, while providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.” “It is that same, required discipline and commitment that helps young people become successful in the world today.”

Along with other works, An Evening with Classical Ballet Theatre will feature pieces created by Meghan Rudorfer and Tara Henderson and performed in Philadelphia for the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP). The evening also will include the Pas de Deux of Paquita staged by Ballet Mistress Dubraskha Arrivillaga as well as three brand new pieces by Artist in Residence Gillmer Duran.

“We want people to talk about dance while having a good time. Come to see us, ask us questions, tweet about the experience, and grab a cocktail while you’re at it.”
