We are also honoured to be collaborating with one of Canada’s leading chamber orchestras, The Turning Point Ensemble. This magnificent program of four new creations promises to be a thrilling experience for both dance and music lovers alike.” says Ballet BC Artistic Director Emily Molnar.

    Oh Rebecca, I want to win this prize so badly! As an ex-dancer who is rehabilitating her body so she can start taking lessons once again, I would love to see what the new and exciting Ballet BC has to offer. I haven’t seen them perform since Emily Molnar re-vamped the company and this would obviously be a great time to do so!
