Our June performances open next Saturday, June 8, at 7:00 pm, at Mt. Spokane High School Theatre. We promise a delightful program for the entire family to watch. Our new ballet "The Chrysalis in the Garden" will involve dancers ages 3 and up, and tell the story of the metamorphosis. The story begins with three mischievous boys wandering through the garden, discovering sunbeams, flowers, raindrops, and even a caterpillar. Later, finding a chrysalis in the garden, and knowing they probably shouldn't, try to peel away the layers of the chrysalis to reveal what is inside. The Fairy of Moonlight scolds them, and then tells them how it is the struggle of the butterfly that makes her strong. That without the struggle to get out of the chrysalis (which is what pushes meconium into the wings and creates strength), the butterfly's wings would remain weak, and she would die.
The boys then leave the chrysalis, and watch in wonder as the butterfly struggles, breaks free of her shell, and dances the beautiful allegro of spring! Please join us for this delightful story. Admission is free, but seating is limited, and usually fills to capacity, so arrive early to secure your seating.
If you have questions regarding any of our performances, please call the studio at 467-0765 or e-mail inlandnwballet@aol.com. If you would like to arrange for your child to meet the butterfly backstage after the performance, please contact Studio Director Janine Fraser at inlandnwballet@aol.com early this week.
