FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Independent Ballet Present their New Ballet: ACCEPT- February 23, 2013 @ 2:30pm SLT at Branwen Arts Theatre

In ACCEPT, four young women struggle with their sense of self and their place in the world around them.  They are united by one thing - their love of dance.  ACCEPT follows the journey of these young ladies as they are each uniquely challenged, and as they come together. They learn lessons of tolerance, compassion, and empathy as they come of age as dancers, and as women.

Based on an original concept by IBC's Deyna Broek, ACCEPT is set in our times, features a mix of ballet and modern dance styles, and IBC's signature blending of solo and group-synced performance.

Check out the premiere on February 23 @ 2:30pm SLT at Branwen Arts Theatre

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: BALLET PIXELLE® PRESENTS "THE NUT"- Opening December 2, 2012

PRESS RELEASE
Second Life -- Thursday, November 29, 2012

Ballet Pixelle® will present it's holiday program "The Nut" opening December 2, 2012.

Ballet Pixelle® performs its version of the Nutcracker ("The Nut") for the sixth year this holiday season. "The Nut" is Ballet Pixelle's essence of The Nutcracker so you can see just the wonderful, and truly original, dances.

Does Clara become the Princess to her Nutcracker as he becomes the Prince of her dreams? We see mysterious dances in the white castle. Arabian dancers fly in on magic carpets. A Russian Cossack stamps out a dance. Russian dolls roll and play. Chinese empresses and emperors and move on delicate feet and Spanish senoritas and senoras throw themselves flamboyantly. A field of flowers waltz together. And even snowflakes dance!

Join us for an evening of classic, and yet new, holiday delights.

Performances are Wednesdays at 2:00 pm and Sundays at 5:00 pm SLT throughout December and part of January in the Ballet Pixelle Theatre.

Drinks and dancing following all performances!

Spotlight on Inarra Saarinen and Ballet Pixelle- Shon Charisma Reporting

One of my favorite things to do on the grid is dance. Early in my three years on the grid, dance meant going to the club and clicking the animations in my inventory. Over the years, dance became a serious business, practice. It became precision, it became listening to the music closely so that I could make movements with the music that told a story. My love of dance, of music, of telling stories with dance showed its face a while back when I interviewed some great women in dance for SLE. When I was asked to do the spotlight feature on Ballet Pixelle® and talk to BP's artistic director and choreographer Inarra Saarinen, I was more than thrilled to jump in and learn more about this dynamic, unique dance company.

PR:: BALLET PIXELLE® PREMIERES "COULEURS DE LA DANSE" -September 23 @5pm SLT

A NEW ORIGINAL BALLET
Ballet Pixelle® will premiere its fourteenth original ballet "Couleurs de la Danse”
  Sunday, September 23 at 5:00 pm.


About us
"Couleurs de la Danse" is a ballet about color...and dance.
There is no story, there is only movement.
A dashing and strong danseur in green with his vibrant green ballerina. A quick and jazzy danseur in red with his fleet-footed and daring red ballerina. And a study in femininity and grace -- the lavender ballerina.

Then, a solo ballerina in white lace daintily follows the lines of the baroque violins.
And finally, red passion erupts!

Discussions following all performances. Please come early as seats fill quickly.

Performances will take place on Sundays at 5:00pm and Wednesdays at 2pm at the Ballet Pixelle Theatre, through Oct 1st.

Behind the Scenes of Dazzlers Inc. - Dazzle Me – Coco Lierfatte Reporting

Dazzlers is a dance company based in Second Life, founded by SavannahAnn McMillan and Pyper Dollinger. Dazzlers is now run by co-founder & dancer Pyper Dollinger. Getting to be a Dazzler is a great opportunity, and a very big achievement.

Unity Productions Wows with I WAS WITH HIM

In the summer of 2010, I was lucky to connect with a few wonderful people on Second Life to form the faith-based group Unity Productions [UP].
