The Bayside Youth Ballet will present its annual Christmas performance (Winter Gala) on Sunday, December 15, at 2 p.m. in the Harry M. Ward Auditorium at Mathews High School. The ballet company will perform “Juke Box Christmas,” a selection of dances to music from the 50s and 60s, and “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” a piece popularized in the “Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular” by the Rockettes. The company will also present “Les Patineurs,” a perennial favorite, depicting a Victorian skating party, as well as a new neoclassical ballet set to traditional European carols.
With 20 dancers ranging in age from 9 to 18, new and exciting choreography, and lavish costumes, the program is sure to be a family favorite during this Christmas season.
Tickets for the performance are $12 for adults and $7 for children under 10 and are available at Office Supply in Gloucester, the Mathews Visitor Center and Diggs School of Dance in Gloucester, or email baysideballet@gmail.com. Tickets will also be available at the door. For more information, call 804-694-5900.
