Beauty and the Beast
Whanganui Ballet & Dance Academy
Prince Edward Auditorium
Sunday March 29
It takes a vast array of talent to bring a ballet production to the stage and Whanganui Ballet & Dance Academy has it in spades.
Before the main production of Beauty and the Beast, there were solo and group dances which demonstrated the different dance styles taught at the academy.
The senior dancers presented classical and contemporary moves to Andrea Bocelli's Nelle Tue Mani and This Is Me from The Greatest Showman.
Mira Meijer performed a ballet solo choreographed by Marius Petipa to Bluebird from Sleeping Beauty and Shantae Arthur performed violin solos between the dance performances.
