Guest lurry Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Did you hear that Modesto Ca. is turning their regional ballet company into a new professional company. The new artistic director is Rene Develuey of Ballet West. He got his training from the National Ballet of Canada. They currently have a school, which Leslie Anne Larson of Ballet West, will become the ballet mistress. Leslie's career started at the Joffery ballet. They are both really lovely dancers and instructors. The teach more classical ballet, which they are very good at. Also, the new performing arts building, which will be complete in 2006, is being erected by Earnest and Galio wine (sp); I don't drink, so I don't know the spelling. Back to the point, the building cost is 40 million dollars and the ballet will preside there. I think this will be something to watch. Quote Link to comment
