Immortal Beloved by Mariana Oliveira
A sumptuous dance for the full company celebrating love, joy and the beauty of Beethoven's music, based on his famous letter of the same title.

Anderson Sweet by Wade Schaaf
A fun and lighthearted set of variations with a touch of kitsch set to the ever entertaining music of Leroy Anderson.

The Dying Swan by Wade Schaaf (After Fokine)
One of ballet's most loved variations. Set to the music of Saint-Seäns, in this variation we see a Swan take her last breath. One of the Ballet Ruesses' best! *This solo will be danced by guest artist Princess Reid of The Joffrey Ballet.*

All You Need Is... by Taylor Mitchell
Set to a score of French songs, this contemporary dance is full of physical comedy, wit, and is sure to delight.

The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre Du Printemps) by Wade Schaaf
A harrowing tale of love, loss, and sacrifice this Ballet Russes-era dance is re-examined by Artistic Director Wade Schaaf in their contemporary setting of the famous work scored by Stravinsky.
