By: The Citizen
Georgia Youth Ballet will wrap up its three-week Summer Intensive Workshop with its annual Summerfest performance on Friday, June 20 at 7:30 p.m. Nearly 40 dancers from seven south metro counties will perform numbers from classical ballets and modern works. The dancers have been working with nationally-renowned guest faculty, including Maria Chapman (Pacific Northwest Ballet), Foye DuBose (Alabama Dance Theatre), Katherine Gebler (Alabama Ballet), BJ Hilbun, Emily Lannan (Atlanta Ballet), Paulo Manso de Sousa, and Kathyrn McBeth (Atlanta Ballet). Summerfest 2008 will be performed at the Charles Wadsworth Auditorium in Newnan. This will mark the first time GYB has performed at Wadsworth, though the company has been performing its Nutcracker for several years at The Centre for Performing and Visual Arts in Newnan. Tickets are available at the door. Adult admission is $10 and tickets for children under 12 and senior citizens are $8 each. Georgia Youth Ballet is a regional pre-professsional dance company based in Fayetteville serving the south metro area.
