Dancers from En Pointe Classical Ballet Coaching are set to cast a spell of winter magic as they transform the stage at The Lind Theatre into the enchanting world of Frozen- The Ballet on 1 December.
The full-scale production features students aged four to 17 performing everything from ballet, jazz, tap, and song, and contributing to every step of the creative process – from script to stage.
En Pointe’s Elizabeth Probert, 15, who will play Anna, said the process of preparing for the production has fuelled her ambition to one day become a principal dancer in an overseas ballet company.
“In five years, I hope to have finished high school at an overseas ballet school and be slowly working myself up the ranks of a professional ballet company either as an apprentice or in the corps de ballet,” Elizabeth said.
“I really hope that I become a Principal ballerina in a company one day, but as long as I get to do the thing that I love most, ballet, I couldn’t be happier.”
“It’s incredible to be performing for an audience, on stage, with lighting and amazing costumes.
“The passion that is brought to every rehearsal and performance is highlighted by the teamwork, dedication, and commitment of every single student, teacher, and dance parent.”
Elizabeth and her peers at En Pointe train upwards of 25 hours each week to perfect their craft.
En Pointe director and Aura local, Leticia Webb, founded the dance school in 2006, and its graduates continue to perform on world stages from London to Paris, Germany and beyond.
The studio is a boutique local offering synonymous with high-calibre dance training and a warm nurturing environment.
Frozen – The Ballet will play in a 4pm matinee and 7:30pm evening performance at Lind Lane Theatre on 1 December.
