Costume Design Takes Center Stage

Throughout BTC’s 22 years, the company’s full-length classical ballet productions and intimate contemporary performances have not only been recognized for the quality of dancing and choreography, but also for its incredibly detailed costume designs. It comes at no surprise that under the leadership of seamstress Tracy Dorman, BTC has developed a vast repertoire of costumes that include hundreds of styles, time periods, and designs. 

"I think that costumes and costume design, too often get lost in conversation since the quality of dancing or choreography is usually the center of discussion. As BTC's 22nd season opens, I feel that now is the perfect opportunity to shine a light on a facet of ballet that is just as interesting and impressive as the dancing. If you were to ask an aspiring young dancer why they might want to become a ballerina, I’m willing to wager that their answer will include wearing a beautiful tutu!”
