Last Thursday, the Hamilton Academy of Performing Arts had a successful Grand Opening and ribbon cutting ceremony.  The event was attended by over 100 people, including friends, family, specials guests, local supporters of the Arts, along with representatives of 3 levels of government:  Almut Sweet, wife of David Sweet, MP, Ted McMeekin, MPP, and Hamilton city council members- Councillor Russ Powers and Councillor Tom Jackson.  Congratulatory greetings came via letter from Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger, as well as Karen Kain, Artistic Director of the National Ballet of Canada.
The evening was embellished by the dance, vocal & piano performances of the first students of the Hamilton Academy of Performing Arts and guest dancers of Hamilton City Ballet.  Caleigh did a beautiful dance of the Mazurka variation from Chopin’s “Les Sylphides”.  Ailish and Ricky performed the Waltz pas-de-deux of the same ballet with much grace and softness.   Ekaterina Chelekhova stunned the audience with her beautiful voice, during her guest vocal performance.   We thank all that have attended and supported the young artists of tomorrow!…

Every year at this time, everyone at HCB is both excited and sad to learn that some dancers will be graduating from our school and moving on to other endeavours.  This year the following students will be moving forward in their studies in dance and academics along with other adventures.

Ulana has been accepted to the Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington, DC where she will be headed for the summer and possibly afterwards.  Ulana has been with HCB since the very beginning and we are very sad to see her go, but excited at all the wonderful opportunities that lie before her!

Liam will be pursuing his dance studies at Ryerson College in the Fall.  Liam had a successful year at HCB and he will be sadly missed as a partner for all those girls we have, (with so few boys!)

Victoria will be attending McMaster University in the fall.  We wish her all the best in her studies!
