From First Steps to the Bolshoi Stage: ISB Students Share the Spotlight

Highlight

On Friday, September 11, some of ISB’s youngest dancers shared the stage with internationally acclaimed professional artists. Grade 1 students from Panther Dance Jazz opened the evening, followed by a Middle School ballet solo and a High School contemporary dance performance. The Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus then took to the stage for a 40-minute Gala Performance featuring highlights from its classical repertoire.

Presented exclusively for the ISB community, the event formed part of the school’s year-long 75th Anniversary celebration. The special evening was made possible through ISB’s longstanding partnership with Bangkok’s International Festival of Dance and Music.

"Seeing artists of this calibre perform so close to home gives our students a glimpse of what can be achieved through curiosity, commitment, creativity, and a love of what you do.”

Dr. Daisy Pellant, Head of School

The evening ended as it began, with ISB students at the heart of the celebration. Our young dancers returned to the stage to present flowers and an ISB Panther to the Bolshoi artists. It was a memorable moment connecting their first steps in dance with the dedication and artistry of professional performers.

Donations collected during the Gala supported the Bangkok's International Festival’s Student Outreach Program which expands access to the performing arts for young people across Bangkok, another way this special ISB event created a positive impact beyond our campus.

A special thank you to the ISB families whose generous sponsorship helped make the evening possible: the Assarat, Leesakul, Sawatyanon, Taesopapong, and Kointarangkul families.
