As the season finale, it offers a culminating artistic statement that reflects the Company’s range, precision, and stylistic versatility.

THE WORK

The program features works by choreographer Durante Verzola alongside two works by Julia Antinozzi, each contributing distinct choreographic perspectives shaped by musicality, form, and contemporary influence.

Anchoring the program is George Balanchine’s Valse-Fantaisie, a rare opportunity to experience this neoclassical masterwork on a South Carolina stage. Defined by speed, precision, and musical brilliance, it serves as the structural and artistic foundation of the program.

Together, these works form a program rooted in neoclassical ballet vocabulary, with contemporary voices offering contrast and expansion rather than dominance.
