Atlantic City Ballet is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated spring season, a celebration of dance  featuring an exciting mix of a classical work and a collaboration with local arts organizations. This  season’s repertoire showcases the versatility and brilliance of Atlantic City Ballet’s dancers, featuring: 

Carmina Burana: A feast for the senses that pairs sensual, powerful choreography with Carl Orff’s  masterpiece Carmina Burana cantata. Unbridled passion and highly physical technique express raw  emotion that transcends the need for a story. Choreographer Phyllis Papa’s artfully-staged vignettes  

capture the spirit of the score’s five movements, oscillating between the erratic, romantic, and lustful as  they celebrate community and the joys of life. This production features the Atlantic City Ballet, live  music by Atlantic City Ballet’s Percussion Ensemble conducted by Vince Lee and live choral by  Rowan University Concert Choir directed by Dr. Christopher Thomas 

Cinderella: An enchanting story for all ages, this ballet is formed by a tapestry of enthralling beauty  and enchanting romance that will find its home in the hearts of many. With a wonderful dose of humor,  the majesty of classical ballet, and the promise of “happily ever after”, Phyllis Papa’s resplendent  Cinderella transports audiences to a magical realm of fairy dust, glass slippers, and hilarious stepsisters.  Rejoice as Cinderella finds her prince in one of the most beloved stories of all time. 

“We are incredibly excited to share this spring season with our community,” said Phyllis Papa, Artistic  Director of Atlantic City Ballet. “These two ballets represent the very best of ballet, from a cherished  classic to a cutting-edge contemporary piece. We believe there is something for everyone to enjoy.” 

Founded in 1982, by International Ballerina, Phyllis Papa, the Atlantic City Ballet is comprised of  professional dancers from around the world. Although their home base is in Historic Boardwalk Hall in  Atlantic City, the Ballet has performed in theaters all along the east coast and across the country. Their  repertoire of original works includes such classics as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Sleeping Beauty and  Swan Lake but Ms. Papa is most known for her innovative works such as Dracula, Caught Up In The  Swing and her full length Carmen. Since its inception, the Atlantic City Ballet has served as one of the  cultural treasures of New Jersey and continues a tradition of dance excellence for future generations of  ballet audiences.
