THIS WEEKEND: Boca Ballet Theatre presents 'La Sylphide,' featuring professional guest artists Emma Von Enck and Anthony Huxley of New York City Ballet. July 27-28 at Countess de Hoernle Theatre.

La Sylphide tells the story of a Scotsman named James, who wakes from a dream on the morning of his wedding to see a beautiful winged slyph. Elusive and playful, she professes her love for him. James’ obsessive pursuit of the otherworldly creature leads him to abandon his fiancée and follow the sylph into the dangerous realm of the forest sprites, where he realizes that in reaching for an unobtainable love, he has lost everything.

BBT needs your help! Earlier this summer, Florida’s governor vetoed some $32 million in arts and culture grants, leaving hundreds of programs like BBT without state financial support.

BBT can’t wait to raise the curtain on La Slyphide! Did you know this ballet is famous for being the first to prominently feature dancing en pointe? In 1832, Marie Taglioni performed the role of the Sylph and became famous for shortening her skirts to show off her exceptional pointe work. It was considered highly scandalous at the time, but she changed ballet forever!

We hope you’ll join us for BBT’s production of La Sylphide on July 27 and 28, 2024! Get your tickets today at bocaballet.org/season!

People with Parkinson's Disease are learning to dance in the studios of Canada's National Ballet School, a world-renowned dance training facility. Film Director Karen Suzuki, in partnership with neuroscientist Joseph DeSouza, utilizes animation to show what happens in the brain of a dance student with Parkinson's.
