Just In Case It Snows
Carolina Ballet Show Will Go On February 3
Carolina Ballet will perform two acts of Swan Lake in Farthing Auditorium on Tuesday, February 3, at 9:30 a.m. for students of Watauga County Schools. In the event of a snow day, however, all students of any age will be allowed entry to the performance with an adult.
Doors will open at 9:00 a.m. for this free show for parents and children. Sign-in will be in the Farthing Auditorium lobby. Parking will be available in the parking deck on Rivers Street, or if cleared, the bike lane on Rivers Street.
Carolina Ballet is recognized as one of the top ten ballet companies in the country. The company’s 30 dancers represent numerous countries, including Russia, Moldavia, Cuba, Uruguay, Hungary, Canada, Armenia and China, and its ballet master hails from Romania. Carolina Ballet’s Dancers in Schools outreach program presents fifth grade students with a comprehensive educational program emphasizing healthful living, the development of critical and analytical thinking, cooperation and teamwork. It fosters creativity, encourages interest in the arts and challenges students to think in new ways.
The production is sponsored by cARTwheels, a project of the NC Arts Council supported though funding by the NC General Assembly. cARTwheels is an educational performing arts touring program that ensures that third, fourth and fifth grade students in the state experience free professionally staged opera, dance, theater and music performances at quality venues before they leave elementary school.
