"Ballet Heritage" by North Coast Dance to include pre-ballet program performers for the first time

North Coast Dance presents “Ballet Heritage” on June 6, 7 and 8 at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts at 412 G Street in Eureka.  

“Ballet Heritage” will showcase the talents of North Coast Dance school and company members.  The performance features classical ballet with “Etudes” and “Les Sylphides” and showcases ballet Americana with “Rodeo” and “Stars and Stripes.”

This performance includes an outreach show for local elementary school children through a partnership with the Humboldt County Office of Education.  Local schools are invited to a special performance at 10am on June 6 through this newly created “Schools to Dance” program.  

Tickets are $15/adults and $12/children and may be purchased at North Coast Dance, 426 F Street, Eureka, by calling (707) 442-7779 or online at www.northcoastdance.org.

North Coast Dance is a non-profit organization under the artistic direction of Ikolo Griffin and Nancy Call, the talents behind the holiday tradition of The Nutcracker.

Video clips and photos from “Ballet Heritage” may be found on North Coast Dance’s Facebook page.

Kris Beck, Executive Director for North Coast Dance said, "This is the first time the pre-ballet program will be performing with the other members and students. Griffin added, "This is very important because it shows the progress of students and different levels of skills." He also said that this show will highlight American ballet and educate the public about the history of this performance dance.
