Dance Movie Outing this Monday! Royal Ballet’s Alice in Wonderland at Esplanade Theatre

Screen Shot 2015-01-30 at 2.43.50 PM.png

We’re hitting the big screen this Monday February 2nd at 6:00pm, to check out the Royal Ballet’s Alice in Wonderland!

A twist on the classic tale, Royal Ballet’s version features a tap-dancing Mad Hatter and a White Rabbit with grand battements out of this world! “This ballet is above all a brilliant realization of Carroll’s zany dream-world featuring stunning choreography, a colourful score and ingenious stage-magic.” More info here http://www.landmarkcinemas.com/north-vancouver-esplanade/film-info?film=1968

A rare treat to see the ballet taped live from the Covent Gardens stage of the Royal Opera House. Cinema-goers are treated to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and a lively introduction to the drama. It’s really the closest thing to seeing it live and with tickets at the price of a movie, it’s far more affordable than a live performance and definitely a lot cheaper than flying to England!

PLUS: 1 FREE TICKET TO THE FIRST 2 DANCERS WHO WRITE IN TO TELL US IN A SHORT PARAGRAPH: WHY I LOVE TO DANCE!

What: The Royal Ballet’s Alice in Wonderland : the film 
Drop-off: 6pm at Anna Wyman School of Dance Arts
Pick-up: 10:10pm (the film is 193 mins (Harry Potter length) – get plenty of sleep Sunday night and bring snacks!)
Ticket prices: $11.99 for children under 13; $16.99 general admission 

Purchase your tickets through the Anna Wyman School of Dance Arts office. Contact us at (604) 926-6535 to reserve your tickets.

Meet at Anna Wyman School of Dance Arts at 6:00pm sharp. We need a few parent volunteers to drive to and from the cinema (Esplanade Theatre, 200 West Esplanade in North Vancouver). If you are able to do so, please let the office know.

Students who have class Monday night will be excused from class early if they wish to attend the screening.
