“Alice In Wonderland” A Ballet Show With Purpose
On Friday the 19th of January 2018, 130 ballet centre students from 7yrs till 20yrs will take the stage combining Ballet, Tap & Modern dance. The Ballet Centre prepares to dazzle Dubai audiences with its production of “Alice in Wonderland”, conceptualized by a highly qualified team of teachers who truly believe that this theme will capture young minds and relate a story with the beauty of Classical Ballet
Mangalika Jayalath – The Managing Director of the Ballet Centre, says “Alice in wonderland will be a dance show with a purpose. This show aims to donate the proceeds to cancer research; a disease that has affected the ballet Centre very closely. The founder of the Ballet Centre Terry Dean lost her battle to the disease in 2000 and in February 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, I fought hard and survived thanks to special people who supported me through the health crisis of my life; including Rashid Hospital, City Hospital, Ballet Centre Staff, my loving family & family friends Mr. Billal, Mr. Mohammad Behrooziyan, Karen Monkhouse (Ballet Centre Manager), Packeerally Family, Kumari Wasana Family and all friends who helped me in different ways and now I would like to give back that support!”
