Brigham Young University Ballroom Dance Company presents... 
CAPTURE THE MAGIC 
supporting Marie Curie.

Twenty-seven years of dominating United States formation dancing has given the Brigham Young University Ballroom Dance Company a reputation for excellence throughout the world. The BYU Ballroom Dance Company will bring its award-winning dance showcase to Sheffield City Hall on 8th June 2010.

Audiences of a BYU Ballroom Dance Company performance are treated to a spectacular variety of dances, including gliding waltzes reminiscent of a royal ball, playful swing dances hearkening back to a 1950s sock hop, and dramatic high-energy dances of the Latin style. The dancers keep the audience engaged as they demonstrate their diverse talents, moving the showcase smoothly between elegant formation routines and fast-paced rhythmic pieces.

Most recently, the Company completed a tour in May 2009, extensively crossing the United States from Utah to Massachusetts and south to Washington D.C. The tour included stops in 19 cities of 11 different states, and included charitable fund-raising performances, benefits for BYU alumni groups, and the side benefits of seeing firsthand many of the historical locations of American history.

In June 2008, a year earlier, the Ballroom Dance Company had another amazing experience as they took their “Capture the Magic” showcase to Hong Kong and China. A highlight of the tour was participation in the opening of the 2008 Cultural Olympic Festival, occurring only six weeks prior to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. The group also performed in major venues in nine cities across China.

The company has already participated in a 10-day tour this October to Southern Utah and California, where they performed in venues such as the Lancaster Performing Arts Center, the Long Beach Community Concert Association, and were hosted by several alumni chapters in the area. The group’s extended tour, set for May of 2010, will take them on a return to the prestigious British Ballroom Dance Championships, in Blackpool, England to compete for two formation crowns offered in that competition. Additional public performances will be given in the United Kingdom.
