SHOW US YOUR TANGO

SHOW US YOUR TANGO

And WIN with West Australian Ballet’s Romeo and Juliet.

We want to see you dancing across the state to celebrate WAB’s tour of Youri Vámos’ spell-binding 1930’s-inspired production of Romeo and Juliet exclusive to regional WA.

In this production, while Romeo is sneaking into the Capulet Ball, Juliet watches the guests perform a tango, the dance of passion.  We want you to grab your phone or camera, find a friend (or several) and send us the footage of your best tango.  At the theatre, in your living room, on the streets... don’t be afraid to get out there, after all life is a dance.

Click here to watch us tango in a shopping centre! The most creative entry will win our Perth escape prize package for 2 which includes luxury accommodation at the Parmelia Hilton, a beauty makeover at Head Studio, plus 2 Premium tickets to our next stunning ballet at His Majesty’s Theatre, Onegin September 20 > October 5.

Send your videos to cwilliamson@waballet.com.au before July 14. We want to use your footage, with Prokofiev’s score, to put together a statewide community tango montage, so remember to mention in your email that you agree to your footage being broadcast on WAB’s YouTube page.

If you get your entry in before Romeo and Juliet hits your town, you’ll also go into the draw to win a double pass to the show. Closing dates are: Geraldton 20 June; Albany 27 June; Mandurah 1 July and Bunbury 4 July. Please email your clip by 4pm and include your venue as the subject header.

Romeo and Juliet will be performed in Geraldton June 21 and 22, Albany June 28 and 29, Mandurah July 2 and 3 and Bunbury July 5 and 6. Visit our website for booking details. And if you haven’t seen it yet, check out our television commercial here.

Show us your tango and be a part of the greatest love story ever told.

Happy birthday WAB HQ!
Happy birthday WAB HQ!

Happy birthday WAB HQ!

We know, it doesn't feel like one whole year since we officially opened the doors to our magnificent West Australian Ballet Centre... but it is!

This Friday 12 April marks 12 months to the day since Premier Colin Barnett and Mayor Terence Kenyon cut the ribbon, and if that's not a reason to celebrate, we don't know what is.

Please join us any time between 12 noon and 2pm for tea, coffee, bubbles and a slice of Sherbet's famous red velvet cake or Mrs S' lemon ricotta cheesecake at our beloved HQ (thanks Sherbet and Mrs S for supplying the cake in such neighbourly spirit!)

And because we are feeling festive, we will also give away a very special West Australian Ballet Centre Pack (memorabilia and event tickets) as a door prize for one lucky guest. Plus there will be a first birthday raffle with some amazing prizes. (Tiffany signature key necklace, anyone?)

We hope you will have time to come and celebrate with us.

Love WAB x

Date:     Friday 12 April 2013
Time:     Anytime between 12noon and 2pm
Venue:  West Australian Ballet Centre,
             134 Whatley Crescent, Maylands
