Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB) is bringing a youth production of the classic ballet Coppélia to Athlone, featuring aspiring young dancers from across the city alongside professional performers. The performances will take place at the Joseph Stone Auditorium on Saturday, September 19, with shows at noon and 3pm. The collaboration includes 40 young dancers from Dance for All and the Eoan Group, who have been preparing for three months under the guidance of former CAPAB dancers Nicolette Loxton and Mervyn Williams.
The production, an abridged version with additional choreography, offers young talents an opportunity to build technical skills, grow their confidence, and share the magic of ballet with their local community.
