ABT Spring Showcase

Abilene Ballet Theatre is dedicated to educating and entertaining audiences as well as promoting and developing a love for the art of ballet. ABT will present our Spring Showcase on Saturday, March 1st at 8:00pm at the Paramount Theatre.

The evening will include several dance pieces with exciting, original new choreography that will help us delve into the beautiful, magical, and many faceted world of ballet. This year's performance features choreography by Amanda Farrow, Mercedes Valdez, Kortnie Coffey, and ABT Dancers Grace Ann Alston and Emma Griffith. 

We are also thrilled to welcome back and feature new performances by our special guests, Ballet Folklorico de Alvaro Muñoz!

The approximate running time is 1 1/2 hours. This event is perfectly appropriate for even the youngest ballet enthusiast! It will be an exciting and beautiful celebration of dance, and a performance that all young aspiring dancers should see! In addition to taking dance class, it is crucial to a dancer's education to see live performances.  It comes at just the perfect time of year to inspire dancers of all ages and levels.
