How I have enjoyed celebrating Ballet Jorgen Canada's 25th Anniversary! Our tour of Swan Lake to 33 communities across Canada allowed us to share our growth as a company with friends old and new. The critical acclaim we received for our performances in packed and often sold out houses from Prince Rupert, BC to Halifax, NS celebrated our dancers and made me excited as to what our future holds. Ballet Jorgen Canada also received several honours during the course of our tour: Artistic Director, Bengt Jorgen, received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, BJC received our second Touring Artistic Company of the Year Award from the BC Touring Council, and our young Local Participant dancers were recognized by the Nova ScotiaHouse of Assemblyfor their participation in Swan Lake. Yet none of these reviews or awards is as meaningful to us as the warm and enthusiastic reception we received from our audiences. We have truly enjoyed sharing our art with you and look forward to seeing you again next year.
