|
|
|
| Southeastern Regional Ballet Association (SERBA) is the oldest and largest region of Regional Dance America (RDA), covering the southeast US from Virginia to Florida to Mississippi with 26 member companies. |
| |
| Each year all member companies gather at the home city of one host member for “Festival”, three or four days of classes, performances, and fun. The interchange among dancers, directors, choreographers, and world-class teachers over the intensive festival period is one of the greatest benefits of Regional Dance America. This year SERBA will be hosted by Alabama Dance Theatre and Southeast Alabama Dance Company in Montgomery, Alabama, in April of 2011. |
| |
| Dance works are selected to be performed by each company through an adjudication process held earlier in the year. The excitement of the festival builds over the three-four days, culminating in a Gala performance of the top pieces adjudicated each year. |
| |
| RDA maintains the highest standard for dance excellence through a membership process that: |
| |
|
Requires perspective companies to be interviewed, auditioned and sponsored before being admitted to the organization as an “Intern Company”. |
| |
|
|
After one year, companies move to “Performing Company” status. |
| |
|
|
After a company has been selected to perform at the Gala Performance for three of five consecutive years, it moves to the highest level as an “Honor Company”. |
| |
|
|
To maintain “Honor Company” status, companies must continue to be selected to perform three of five years on an ongoing basis. Those companies who do not meet this requirement are moved back to "Performing Company" status. |
|
| |
| For the past six years, Atlanta Dance Theatre has been selected to perform at the Saturday Night Gala performance! |
