Artistic Director Emily Molnar, formerly of the National Ballet of Canada, the Frankfurt Ballet and a principal dancer with Ballet BC has revitalized this company of 18 dynamic, intelligent and passionate dancers. Her vision of contemporary ballet rooted in classicism has electrified audiences in Vancouver and on tour to the National Arts Centre and other venues. Named one of Dance Magazine’s 25 to Watch in 2013, Dance Victoria is very excited to celebrate the return of this fiesty company to the Royal Theatre after an eight-year absence. The program includes two new works by Finnish-born choreographer Jorma Elo and Director Molnar.
