'Fall for Dance' formerly known as Ballet Under the Stars is this Saturday, Sept. 17.
The Municipal Auditorium has seen some of the most famous performers and performances in the nation, and it seems that lately the historic site has been more in demand than ever. This Saturday, Sept. 17, the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet or SMB will promenade across the stage beginning at 7:30 p.m. for their upcoming performance of ‘Fall for Dance’ at the Municipal in downtown Shreveport.
Dance enthusiasts get excited because this is the kick-off performance of the SMB’s upcoming season which includes all-time favorite, The Nutcracker coming December of this year and in April 2012, Cinderella. In its 38th season, SMB was created to give local dancers an outlet for their talent. And aren’t we glad they did? The Saturday performance will feature New Orleans dance company Delta Festival Ballet, Louisiana’s only professional ballet company and a lineup of area performing dance groups.
For the first time ever, this year the SMB’s kick-off will offer a pre-performance dinner package. There are only 20 tickets left, so if you’re interested in a little dinner-theatre action, hurry to reserve a spot. Dinner package tickets are $15 for children and $25 for adults. General admission and tickets are $10 for adults and all children 12 and under get in for free. For ticket information for ‘Fall for Dance’ call (318) 221-8500 or click here.
