THE SOUTH AFRICAN BALLET THEATRE’S ‘BALLETOMANIA!’

THE SOUTH AFRICAN BALLET THEATRE’S ‘BALLETOMANIA!’
AT ARTS ALIVE 2011

This year’s Joburg Arts Alive International Festival includes the return of classical ballet to the bill as The South African Ballet Theatre (SABT) presents Balletomania! - a Celebration of The South African Ballet Theatre’s 10th anniversary.

This season forms part of the on-going celebrations to commemorate SABT’s 10th anniversary and runs from September 9th to September 11th at the Joburg Theatre.

The programme will feature highlights from SABT’s glittering repertoire, new works as well as appearances by the SABT Academy and Development programme dancers.
Established in 2001 after the closure of The State Theatre Ballet in 2000, SABT has forged a central niche in the local dance sector and this anniversary is indeed a proud moment, not only for the dance community, but for all Joburg residents and Arts Alive patrons.

SABT is the country’s most prestigious professional ballet company and has established itself as a major player in the performing arts with impressive productions of classical ballets, new works by South African choreographers and collaborations across international boundaries.
