AUDITION!!!! Luminario Ballet seeks additional ballet dancers for 2010: February 10th, 2 PM at Hollywood Dance Center, 817 North Highland Ave, LA, CA 90038

Ballerinas must have strong pointe skills and men must have strong partnering skills.

Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles collaborates with Southern California’s prominent dance members, including Emmy nominated choreographer / producer Doriana Sanchez (“CHER” and “So You Think You Can Dance”) and San Francisco Ballet’s revered prima ballerina, Evelyn Cisneros, who coached Luminario Ballet in SFB's former artistic director Michael Smuin's piece, "Bouquet".

Luminario is developing a relationship with the world famous Nacho Duato (Companie de Danza Nacional Espana, Nederlans Dans Teater). Luminario's dancers completed a masterclass and choreography workshop with the CND2's dancers and associate artistic director in May 2009. We will be doing another workshop with the main company's ballet master of CND May 2010 again, in Orange County. We hope to become recipients of Nacho Duato's wonderful choreography in upcoming seasons.

In addition to ballet, Luminario presented "Recuerdo" from LA’s most successful and best loved modern dance legend, Bella Lewitzky, mounted by Diana MacNeil and John Pennington; and has presented excerpts of Judith Flex Helle's aerial ballet, "LedZAerial", set to the music of Led Zeppelin.

Luminario Ballet is the only company in the US currently versatile enough to perform ballet en pointe, modern, and aerial in the same evening...making an evening memorable for all!

Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles promotes the intense energy and innovation of the local choreographic dance scene, mixing commercial and concert choreographers in a way unique to the entertainment industry of LA. It is also good to note that back in the beginning days of NYCB, George Balanchine did the same, mixing his company into Broadway, film and TV to increase exposure to a broader audience.
