Santa Clarita Ballet Company will debut its original production of Little Mermaid on Saturday, June 13 at the College of the Canyons Performing Arts Center during 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. showings.
This year, the senior cast of dancers is comprised of graduating ballerinas who exemplify extraordinary artistic beauty and academic accomplishment. The ability to balance a para-professional ballet career, requiring a minimum 12-hour per week practice schedule and rigorous academics is remarkable.
Hart High’s Alexandra Finley will dance the starring role of Sea Witch before leaving for University of California, Berkeley as a recipient of the prestigious Regent Scholar Merit Award. Regent Scholars represent the top 2 percent of incoming freshman and recognizes exceptional academic excellence. She rejected numerous prestigious admission offers, including full-ride scholarships to accept the Regent Scholar Merit Award.
West Ranch’s Celine Kiner will appear as the Young Maiden rivaling Little Mermaid for the Prince’s affection. She is exiting the Company to begin training at USC’s highly selective Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. The Kaufman School accepts 15-20 new students annually based on artistic and academic merit. This spring, Celine also competed in the prestigious Sola Seal Award competition, which is so selective only the top 2 percent of dancers worldwide are invited to compete.
Canyon High’s Emily Chapman will star in the role of Little Mermaid. After a childhood spent honing classical ballet skills, attending prestigious summer workshops and competing in the widely recognized Youth American Grand Prix, Emily has accepted a scholarship at University of Utah School of Dance.
