James Sewell Ballet

We went out this past weekend to see the James Sewell Ballet as a find different evening event. The first half starts out wonderfully with a mixture of a classic ballet with a Asian influence. It was lovely and the seats were amazing. It was a great opportunity to go and see something different a little outside of your standard Friday nights events. Each dance did a fantastic job and they even had a male who was on toe, quite impressive. I would recommend this to any couple /​family as a great outing. I have also heard they have children performances where the kids and come and go as needed throughout to make it easier on the little ones, what a great idea!

The James Sewell Ballet company is doing something really unique and I am not a skilled enough writer to say exactly what it is. For the past three years I have not missed a local performance and each time I leave I have that feeling of «wow!»
This is what I take from the performances: Classical ballet foundations applied to contemporary art, cultural and social issues, human ironies, imagination, humor, beauty, and the search for meaning. I know that sounds really intense, but it is an intense experience! I highly, highly recommend attending a performance. They also have special performances for families with children.
Most performances are at St. Catherine University and tickets can be purchased online or at the box office. Student/​senior/​child discounts are available.
