Dancing Arts Center Celebrates Spring
The Dancing Arts Center’s Ensemble cast represented the dance school by participating in the Children’s Dance Festival this month at the Boston Ballet.
The cast, which includes Nicoletta Agostino, Zoë Bangert, Jenna Calabrese, Emma Joaquin, Elizabeth Kantrowitz, Sara Knapp, Adela Lin, Amelia Noreau, Ariel Ott, and Noelle Ott, performed variations from La Bayadere, restaged after Marius Petipa by DAC ballet staff Patrick Notaro and Gregg Saulnier.
“Performing at the Children’s Dance Festival has become a welcomed tradition for both organizations,” says DAC Director Karyn Edison. “Along with an opportunity to strengthen our reputation of developing highly skilled dancers while presenting tasteful choreography and costumes, the Children’s Dance Festival gives us a chance to further our mission of raising the level of artistry through exchange and presentation.”
The Children's Dance Festival provides a day of dance for dancers ages 6-18 through dance groups of all techniques and cultures, including a workshop of different dance styles and a gala performance.
About the Dancing Arts Center:

classical ballet, modern dance, improvisation, character, hip hop, pointe, pas de deux, and choreography, and offers a variety of other performance-related classes through the year.
