With an astounding mastery of ballet technique, flamboyant personalities, and maybe a little more chest hair than your average Giselle, the world-renowned ballerinas of the Trocks illuminate the passion, tragedy, and joy of classical ballet, all squeezed into size 12 pointe shoes. With legends like Olga Supphozova, Sveltlana Lofatkina and Lariska Dumbchenko returning with the company, Les Ballets Trockadero is guaranteed to provide a shimmering, comedic, and superlatively danced evening of family-friendly ballet this holiday season. Program A includes The Joyce premiere of Majismas along with favorites from the company’s repertory, including Swan Lake (Act 2) and La Trovatiara. Program B features favorites such as Go For Barocco and Paquita and The Joyce premiere of Giselle (Act 2).
