LakeCities Ballet to perform 'Le Ballet de Dracula'

LakeCities Ballet Theatre (LBT) will present multiple performances of Le Ballet de Dracula on Friday, Oct. 17, and Saturday, Oct. 18, in the Huffines Performance Hall at Lewisville Grand Theater, 100 N. Charles.

Performance times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17, and 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 18. Tickets are $25 General Admission and can be purchased at lakecitiesballet.org.

This original ballet, written by Tom Rutherford and masterfully choreographed by LBT Artistic Director Kelly Kilburn Lannin, has become a seasonal Halloween classic.

The evil, yet popular, Count Dracula will be danced by Ronnie Underwood, premier dance instructor at Tulsa Dance Company. Underwood enjoys training the next generation of dancers, artists and athletes with his motivational teaching style. He is excited to come out of retirement for LakeCities Ballet Theatre to perform a role he has always wanted to dance. This year, dancing the role of Aurelia, will be LBT member Josephine Keith and dancing the role of Marcela will be LBT member Lisa Genovese.
