Brigham Young University's Department of Dance will present a diverse program during "Ballet Showcase" Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13- 14, in the Dance Production Theatre, 166 Richards Building.

Tickets are available for nightly showings at 7:30 p.m. and a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $6 and are available at the Fine Arts Ticket Office, (801) 422-4322, or online at byuarts.com.

"There will be a lot of variety in this program," said company director Kalise Child. "With 14 dancers, all of whom have excellent abilities, the show will prove to be a delight."

"The Audition" choreographed by BYU's Marsha Russell, is a mini-ballet that dramatizes the various situations that occur in ballet class and at auditions, from the dancer who is always late to the prima donna who always has to be front and center.

For classical fans there are two variations from "Le Corsaire" by Petipa restaged by BYU Theatre Ballet director Shani Robison and the Spanish-styled "La Fuega Roja de La Noche" by senior member Allison Zobell, president of Ballet Showcase.

"Waltz of the Flowers," choreographed by Child, was inspired by her experiences dancing in Robert Lindgren's "Nutcracker" at the North Carolina School of the Arts.

Other new works include "Marionettes" choreographed by Child and inspired by a quote by Elder David A. Bednar: "Endowed with agency, we are agents, and we primarily are to act and not only to be acted upon -- especially as we seek to obtain and apply spiritual knowledge." "Musical Rush" by Stephanie Haymore features composer Jon Schmidt's "Love Story Meets Love Story."

"The entire company will perform the finale, 'Hungarian Suite,'" said ballet faculty member and publicity director Lynne Thompson. "It's a lively, high-energy character piece with exciting lifts and jumps. I think that a lot of people are going to enjoy this show; there is something for everyone."

Grant Underwood, professor of Mormon and US religious history, will speak on the Doctrine and Covenants manuscripts that have been recently released by the First Presidency from the Church Archives. His address is titled "Relishing the Revelations: Joseph Smith and the Revelatory Process." We would love to see you there.

Cougar fans will have their first chance to preview the 2009-10 BYU men’s volleyball team when it hosts its traditional Alumni Match at 3 p.m. in the Smith Fieldhouse on Saturday.

The alumni team will consist of 10 former Cougars, including current assistant coach Rob Neilson (’06) at setter. Joining him will be middle blocker Michael Burke (’05) and four members of the 2004 graduating class, Joe Hillman, Cory Carpenter and BYU women’s assistant coach Shawn Olmstead. Other alumni include Taylor Evans (’06), Rodrigo Gomes (’07) Mac Wilson (’01), Jonathan Charette (’08) and Brad Goldston (’99). Eight of these 10 former Cougars were members of National Championship winning teams in 1999, 2001 or 2004.

The current BYU team returns 11 players with starting experience, including All-MPSF Second Team honorees Andrew Stewart at outside hitter and middle blocker Futi Tavana. Honorable mention selection Yamil Perez also returns at setter.

Stewart and Perez lead a talented group of six seniors that includes setter Reed Chilton, libero Joel Silva and opposites Mat Taylor and Kent Tuttle.

Fourteen of the 17 current roster members return from 2009, while sophomores Erik Mayer and Robby Stowell are back at BYU after serving two-year LDS missions. Fans will also have a chance to see true freshman Tyler Heap.

Saturday will mark the first action for the 2009-10 team before it kicks off preseason play at the Las Vegas Tournament next week.

Admission to the match is free.
