Ann Brodie’s Carolina Ballet’s Junior & Apprentice Company presents “Les Patineurs.”
This ballet, “Les Patineurs,” is a production of the Junior and Apprentice companies of Carolina Ballet. It is specifically designed to introduce young people to the magic world of ballet. Originally staged for the Royal Ballet in England, this production has been recreated by Artistic Director Mimi Worrell “Les Patineurs” is set on a frozen pond in the English countryside in the 1800’s. Young skaters take to the ice with the rollicking music of Meyerbeer setting the tone for a “jolly good time” for all. With snowball fights, show-off skaters, young lovers and novices just learning to navigate slippery ice. This ballet is a lighthearted look into times long gone by. The Carolina Ballet young dancers have been rehearsing the steps created by Sir Frederick Ashton for the original production . The classical ballet dance steps have been reinterpreted to
mimic the sliding and gliding of skaters on slick ice.
Guest Artists include: Colin Pilotto (Courtesy of Palmetto Ballet Theatre), Nicolas White (Artist in Residence) and Carolyn Coffey (Carolina Ballet Senior Company Dancer).

Monthly After Dinner Cabaret
2026-03-10 19:30 - 21:00
The Monthly After Dinner Cabaret offers a chance to enjoy some of the Midlands’ most celebrated cabaret and theatre performers once a month in an intimate and lively atmosphere. Sharing an eclectic mix of music and stories, our performers have over 400 years of combined experience delivering lively and entertaining programs.
We started small in 2023 with a six-month series in a small venue on Two Notch Road. As word got out that this fun event was happening every month, audiences started to grow, and over the course of the next year, we knew we were on to something.
Our goal was (seemingly) simple. Provide an evening of live music without the need to purchase dinner or drinks. In other words, enjoy a dinner with a friend at your chosen place, and then come join us at the cabaret! Easy, laid back, and fun!
The Monthly After Dinner Cabaret is moving to a new performance space next month. We are excited about performing at Columbia Music Festival Association Artspace in downtown Columbia. Our new venue offers a more comfortable setting with better seating and acoustics, providing an improved experience for all. The intimate atmosphere you’ve come to enjoy will remain, with the added benefit of enhanced staging. We look forward to welcoming you to our new location for an evening of entraining and quality performances in a fresh environment.
