Training the whole child

WE TRAIN

WE PERFORM

WE SHARE

We cultivate technical mastery and promote healthy self-awareness to create joyful ambassadors for the world of classical dance.

Located in the picturesque community of Civano, Ballet Rincon is Southeastern Tucson’s premier academy of dance. Our mission is to share our love of dance to the largest possible audience in our community through the excellent training of young dancers, while holding equal the students’ senses of physical and emotional well-being. We pledge the practice of technical and artistic mastery and healthy self-awareness to create joyful ambassadors for the profoundly beautiful world of classical dance.

We love the instruction, the management, leadership and the ballet family we have become a part of.”

“The growth in my daughter’s dancing ability and confidence is what keeps us here. The instructors are very professional and care about their students.”

“We feel BR is very nurturing. Our daughter receives both positive feedback and constructive criticism. We feel she is cared for as the dancer she chooses to be.”

This studio is amazing, has become part of our family. We don’t just dance here. We have best friends here. It is a place I trust my children will grow.

ACT I-Scene 1
Morning in the Village Square
The villagers are preparing for the Harvest Festival. The celebration is momentarily interrupted by Dr. Coppélius, whose mysterious “daughter”, Coppélia, causes a quarrel between the lovely Swanilda and her fiancé Franz. The villagers, after continuing the celebrations while dancing a mazurka and czardas, disperse to await the Harvest Festival the following morning. Meanwhile, Swanilda and her friends investigate the strange house of Dr. Coppélius.

ACT I-Scene 2
Inside Dr. Coppelius’ Workshop
Swanilda and her friends search for the girl they saw earlier on the balcony. Soon after, Dr. Coppélius returns and chases them – except for Swanilda, who hides – from his workshop. Franz arrives and Dr. Coppélius wickedly endeavours to take his spirit from him and put it into the body of his “daughter”, his most prized possession. Coppélius is fooled by Swanilda and thinks his mechanical doll has come to life. The lovers are reunited and Dr. Coppélius is left broken-hearted.

— intermission —
