Ava Bouwer, a talented young ballerina from Bridge House School, was selected to perform in the Cape Town City Ballet’s highly anticipated production of The Nutcracker this festive season.
Ava was one of 400 children who auditioned for the opportunity to dance alongside the professional dancers of this renowned ballet company in one of Cape Town’s most beloved Christmas traditions. After making it through the first round, Ava made it through to the second round of auditions, where she was chosen to play the role of an Angel in the 2024 season of The Nutcracker.
The production will run at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town from 13 December to 29 December, promising a spectacular experience for audiences of all ages. With its enchanting music, stunning choreography, and festive spirit, The Nutcracker is a must-see highlight of the holiday season, and Ava is excited to be part of this magical performance.
Ava forms part of the Anma School of Ballet and is taught by the amazing Mrs Anma Botha.
