After the impressive success at the Christmas Extravaganza last year, Noosa FitBarre dancers have been invited to perform the Silver Waltz to Tchaikovsky’s music at the upcoming Australian Body Art Festival on Sunday 21 April.
The dancers, whose ages range from the late 40s to middle 80s, attend weekly adult ballet classes with Angelika Burroughs, a professional ballerina at the Performing Arts Factory.
“Looking at how young, energetic, and passionate these dancers appear proves that staying fit with ballet is their secret to youth. Age doesn’t matter when your passion and love for ballet sparkles in every step and movement you make,” Angelika said.
El Duende Flamenco group led by Susana Menotte a professional stunning dancer, who has been attending Angelika’s classes, will share the stage to enchant the audience with a vibrant and diverse selection of captivating Spanish folk dances.
Join us in supporting Leon D’Aulnais, a sprightly 83-year-old, and Christine Hamilton as they take the stage to perform a breathtaking Pas De Deux – Adagio from the “Genzano Flower Festival.”
“With Leon’s gallant charm and Christine’s classically strong presence, their performance promises to be nothing short of sensational, exuding youthfulness and grace,” Angelika said.
“Adding to the excitement, Christine Hamilton will also showcase her talent with a technically challenging variation – Kitri from Don Quixote.
Hailing from Mudjimba, Christine’s journey into designing leotards, skirts, and ballet dresses began after joining FitBarre Adult Ballet Classes, where she discovered her hidden talent for sewing. Christine, with her keen eye for design and craftsmanship, has adorned numerous dancers in the FitBarre class with her exquisitely crafted creations, adding a touch of elegance and flair to their performances.
“The multitalented Christine Hamilton made her first tutu for herself for her Kitri performance, and it looks fabulous.”
Make sure not to miss this spectacular group of dancers as they grace the Eumundi Amphitheatre stage on Sunday 21 April at 10am at 76 Memorial Dr, Eumundi, for a morning filled with artistry, passion, and the timeless beauty of ballet.
