Performance Spotlights Partnership with Cleveland Ballet
The performance was made possible by the district’s partnership with Cleveland Ballet, which includes rehearsals twice every week at its satellite facility in Bedford. Under the direction of resident faculty member Meghan Hass, the scholars began the performance with a variety of stretching exercises using a ballet bar, beginning with simple movements followed by more complicated steps involving a faster tempo and greater movement of their legs and arms. The scholars also performed movements across the stage demonstrating the ability to move in rhythm and an awareness of where they are in space and to each other. To conclude the evening’s showcase, advanced students from Cleveland Ballet delivered impressive performances of their own. Congratulations to all participating scholars for a wonderful performance!
