FUSE with Ballet Memphis: a kick-off celebration & dance party
Join
us September 12 at 7pm at Ballet Memphis Studios for a party like none
other. There will be sneak peeks by the professional company of the new
work being premiered this season, an interactive room with video
screens showing the dance contest semifinalists, a "club" area for you to dance,
appetizers, cold beverages and more. Plus, we'll unveil the finalists
in our FUSE dance/video contest and announce the teams of dancers and
choreographers from Ballet Memphis that will go on to work with the
finalists to create something special for the special opening of new
our Midtown home at Playhouse on the Square.
Adults get in for $20, college IDs get you $10 at the door, and anyone 18 and under is just $5. Come FUSE with us!Time to vote on your favorite "happy dance"
Our dance contest is far from over. Our panel of judges - including Craig Brewer, Pat Mitchell Worley from the Memphis Music Foundation, Erik Jambour from Indie Memphis, Ekundayo Bandele from Hatiloo and more - have narrowed the field to a handful of entries that exemplify what joy looks like in dance. Now it's your turn. After the FUSE party on the 12th, come back to this page. We'll post links below to view the videos - they are short, so it won't take 5 minutes to view them all. Then click on the red ENTER CONTEST button between September 15 and October 1. The winner will be announced at Wizard of Oz on November 7 and their new fused work will be presented at AbunDANCE in Feburary.
