    New Ballet brings its eclectic blend of Ballet, Hip Hop and Flamenco back to the Buckman Performing Arts Center for the fifth annual production of Springloaded where young Memphis trained professionals and trainees will perform varied works bridging the great Martha Graham to the local dance phenomenon of Jookin'. Eight choreographers are represented in the production including Graham, Kevin Trent Thomas (formerly of Dance Theater of Harlem), Blakely White McQuire of the Martha Graham Company and notably, Barcelona native, and now Memphis choreographer, Noelia Garcia Carmona. Ms. Carmona's creation speaks to the commonalities of the Spanish and Southern cultures (this work made possible by ArtMemphis and the ABC grant). A guest appearance by the Jookin' Academy in "Three Kings" highlights a dance style that is capturing attention world-wide and is unique to inner city Memphis. Don't miss this soul stirring evening highlighting young Memphis talent hailing from varied cultural backgrounds.
