A NORTH Vancouver ballerina
who has been dancing since the age
of six, takes to the stage Feb. 6
and 7 in Ballet British Columbia's
first show this season.

Charie Evans, 29, was lead
dancer with Pacific Ballet Theatre
before joining a fledgling Ballet
British Columbia company last
year as the prima ballerina.

Evans’ ballet skill has landed her
opportunities to join some of the
country's top ballet companies but
she has always opted to stay in the
North Shore area.

“TI felt it important a ballet
company be started,”’ Evans said.
**We needed a major company and
it was exciting to be with a starting
ballet company.”

Dancing: professionally now for
seven -years, Evans began her ballet
career at a North Vancouver
community centre 23 years ago.
“It’s not there now but on Cap
Road in the green barn was where
I had ballet classes,’ remembered
Evans.

Last week, Evans and the com-
pany were touring Vancouver
Island, with stops in Victoria and
Ucluelet. Before that, the company
toured the Okanagan region.

“The company: wants to be ac-
cessible to all British Columbia,”
said Evans. ,

Although a new company, Ballet
British Columbia is already
building audience support and is
working on the foundation laid by
the Pacific Ballet Theatre.

“It’s exciting to be on the
ground floor,” said company
ballerina Evans.

Evans and the Ballet B.C. com-
pany are dancing at the Queen
Elizabeth Theatre.
