Youth Ensemble Performs at Berkeley Mills!
Berkeley City Ballet's Youth Ensemble was featured April 24th at the Berkeley Mills Showroom. With a stunning backdrop of high craftsman furniture, our students danced excerpts from the upcoming Spring Concert, including variations from Sleeping Beauty. They were joined by professional dancers Charlene Hannibal from Company C Contemporary Ballet and Keelan Whitmore from Alonzo King's Lines.
Mirroring the East/West design of Berkeley Mills furniture, the performance was rounded out by two Kung Fu demonstrations by the Shaolin Monk, Chung Jun.
