Children have fun while learning and working as a team By Marty Cheek About a dozen girls in ballet rehearsal attire stepped lively in pace with the music across the wood floor at the Morgan Hill Grange hall. They comically chased dance instructor Andrey Shevchuk who carried a red umbrella for which he expressed a comical infatuation. They surrounded him in a tight circle and he threw his hands in the air in surprise. On a Monday afternoon, the South Valley Dance Arts company prepared at the Grange for its upcoming show “La Fille Mal Gardée.” The family comedy ballet tells a mischievous love story about a young woman who goes against the matrimonial wishes of her mother. The ballet, which originally premiered in France in 1789, will be performed May 22 and 23 at the Sobrato High School Theater. Rachael Gallagher, 14, plays the leading role of “Lise,” who is the “Wayward Daughter” of the ballet’s English-translated title. Event has raised more than $900,000 in 30 years By Ron Woolf Litt
