Spokane Youth Ballet

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been turned into an opera, a movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and a ballet choreographed by George Balanchine. This Saturday, Spokane Youth Ballet carries on the tradition of telling the comedy without the use of words, this time with original movement by SYB’s resident choreographer Phaedra Jarrett, with artistic direction from Kristen Potts. More than 50 local dancers will take to the stage, while principal dancers from the Oakland Ballet will portray the royal fairy roles. The show should last about two hours with intermission, relatively short for a ballet.
