The Sleeping Beauty Ballet was performed at The M Theatre on Saturday 1 June and Sunday 2 June. Since its premiere in 1890 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Russia, with a musical score written by Tchaikovsky and based on the Charles Perrault fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty has been a favorite of every classical ballet company. Three Bangkok Prep students and one FOBP mother performed in the ballet this year: Maria Kuratana (Year 8) Akari Sonobe (2JW) Yasuko Sonobe (1PD) Yohko Sonobe (FOBP Primary Parent Coordinator 2019-20) The directors of Rising Star Dance Studio are former Bangkok Prep parents Fay and Vithaya Pansringarm. They are both accomplished artists, Fay a former ballet dancer from New York and ballet teacher of more than 30 years and Vithaya an acclaimed Hollywood actor. Their son Aaron graduated from Prep last year having studied at Prep from Year 1. Rising Star has provided after school dance clubs for the past 14 years. Ballet classes with Rising Star Dance Studios are available at Bangkok Prep through the ECA programme.
