Regina Youth Ballet Review

When the 1st dance started it was a solo of a girl with a tutu on and that was what I expected to see during the performances. When Connie, the organizer of the ballet came up and told the crowd different parts of the ballerina and then asked her to turn around and show her bottom, that was very funny. As the performances went on the steps and costumes changed. I would have liked to see more bright and cheerful colours for the costumes though. The lighting during all the dances was perfect. I liked how it made there body and faces all different colours. The costume for the 1700's was very good. It was good how they used gray, curly gudge hair. I also enjoyed, how most of the dances were all different and they all had perfect syncronization. All the dancers new exactly where or what to do next. That would be very difficult for me to do. Out of all the 7 dances at the beginning, pop, trance, trout, scurry, roll, dart, and bounce, I personally enjoyed "Scurry"! It surprized me how the crawled on their hands and feet entering and leaving the stage. All of the performances had different movements and levels to them too. Some parts of the dances were strange to watch and I have to say I didn't really like how they played the old classical music. That's just my opinion though. Having the sheets and stools as props was very interesting too. The last dance was very good. I liked how the dance began with the sheets over themselves and how the sat up and then sat back down. The overall performance from my view was awesome! I would rate it 3 and a 1/2 stars! Awesome show and great work performers!
