Tchaikovsky’s “The Sleeping Beauty” will be performed by Blue Heron Dance Company on the Vashon High School stage at 7 p.m. Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17, and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 18. Regarded as the composer’s finest ballet score, Blue Heron Dance Company first performed the three-act ballet in 1998.

Blue Heron Dance Director Christine Juarez said she has completely reworked the choreography since the dance company’s performance a decade ago.

“The Sleeping Beauty,” performed exclusively by Blue Heron Dance Company (50 of the more advanced students), will include Ballet 2, 3, 4 and 6 and Modern 1, 2 and 3. Younger students will perform in the first act with excerpts from “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “La Fille Mal Garde” and “Rose Adagio,” a “Sleeping Beauty” excerpt. Youngest dancers will perform “The Fairies and the Dragon,” a piece about celebrating differences.

Sarah Balcom, as Aurora, the Sleeping Beauty, will be joined by Molly Crosby, the Lilac Fairy; Chelsea Clark; Sami Ressler; Amorita Juarez; Camille Kappelman; Sophie Pawlowski; Madeline Morser; Clarissa Boyajian; Trudy Soriano; and Shannon Hennessey, the Black Fairy.

Kate Guinee constructed the costumes. Carol Sayre is set and props mistress; set painting was done by Gail Labinski and Kim Lazare; Stan Voynick is the producer and backstage managers are Nancy Kappelman and Brenda Misel. Melissa Balcom and Alison Bockus are responsible for front-of-house magic, which will feature a gift basket auction with themes from “The Sleeping Beauty,” created by ballet classes. Students also decorated old pointe shoes to auction. All proceeds benefit Blue Heron Dance.

For the first time ever, Juarez will present Ten Year Tiaras for students who have danced 10 consecutive years with Blue Heron Dance.

“I’m hoping this is the beginning of a very long tradition,” Juarez said.
