Charlotte Ballet is going all out on making ballet fun, accessible and affordable for families. Their next performance, Fall Works, which runs October 20th, 2016, through October 22nd at Knight Theater, features two exciting ballets suitable for the entire family. On Saturday, October 22nd, Charlotte Ballet is offering a Family Matinee at 2 p.m. Children’s tickets are only $10. This $10 price for kids is for any available seat. Purchase now.
Before the show, starting at 1 p.m., there will be free children’s activities, related to the show that families are about to see. Kids will learn about ballet, get excited about the show, and most of all, have fun!
After the pre-show activities, join Charlotte Ballet’s dancers in the theater for a double feature including the work of Ohad Naharin, coming to Charlotte Ballet for the first time. Ohad’s Minus 16 has an eclectic score ranging between Dean Martin, mambo, techno and traditional Israeli music. Using improvisation and his signature “Gaga” method, Ohad crafts an experience with elements of spontaneity, while breaking down the barriers between the dancers and audience. Resident Choreographer Dwight Rhoden returns to present his ballet The Groove. Set to 1980s house music, this joyful party ballet is a fitting start to a season of celebration.
Free pre-show family activities:
- Mini Dance Classes & Music Exploration- A professional Charlotte Ballet dance educator will lead mini dance and movement classes with live musical accompaniment.
- Costume Exploration Station – Children design and create their very own dance costumes.
