By her early teens she had been accepted to numerous summer workshops and received scholarships to New York City Ballet, Harkness Ballet, and Joffrey Ballet. She eventually accepted a full scholarship to the School of American Ballet before joining the Harkness Ballet in 1970. During Patricia’s career in New York City she danced as a soloist and principal dancer in notable ballets such as Firebird, Schubert Variations, Abyss, Nightsong, Rodin, and Souvenirs. Patricia continued her career in Europe as a soloist before joining John Neumeier’s Hamburg Ballet. In 1977, she and Tanju brought their artistic talents to Patricia’s hometown of Dallas, where they opened the Tuzer Dance School.

Deux, Giselle, Le Corsaire, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Cinderella, Balanchine’s Agon, Four Temperaments, and Symphony in C. Throughout his career, Mr. Tuzer has graced stages all over the world and performed with many renowned dancers including Margot Fonteyn. It was during his time at Harkness where Tanju met Patricia (Machette) Tuzer, a dancer from Dallas, Texas, who would become his beloved wife.

Together the Tuzers have grown their legacy locally and internationally as principal instructors with their acclaimed Tuzer Dance School and Artistic Directors of its affiliated company Tuzer Ballet. Tanju and Patricia’s relentless passion and dedication has earned Tuzer Dance School an undisputed reputation as one of the finest classical ballet schools of its time. Many former students enjoy successful professional careers in prominent dance companies all over the world. The Tuzers continue to inspire new generations of dancers and produce artistic and innovative productions for Tuzer Ballet.

JOHN LAM

GUEST ARTISTS

Lam was born in Marin County, California. His parents immigrated from Vietnam. Lam found his passion for life in dance at age four. Training at Marin Ballet, Lam formed vital relationships that would mold his career. He was coached by renowned Svetlana Afanasieva, Cynthia Lucas, and Mikko Nissinen. In 2000, Lam began his tenure with Canada’s National Ballet School under the directorship of Mavis Staines. Trained by famous Sergiu Stefanschi, Lam developed a foundation that would launch his career in 2003 with the invitation from Mikko Nissinen to join Boston Ballet.

SEO HYE HAN Seo Hye Han was born in Seoul, Korea in 1988 and began learning ballet from her mother at age eight. She trained at Korean National University of Arts in the gifted development program from 1996–2005 and entered the university in 2005 when she was 16 years old.

Han earned a Scholarship at the Prix de Lausanne in 2005 and moved to Russia to attend the Vaganova Ballet Academy for one year, returning to Korea afterwards. In 2008, she graduated college and was recruited by Universal Ballet in Korea, where she danced for three years. She later joined Boston Ballet in 2013 after winning the gold medal at the Boston International Ballet Competition. She was promoted to second soloist in 2014, soloist in 2015, and principal in 2016. In January 2014, she graced the cover of Dance Magazine, an influential American trade publication for dance.

“For Lam to command the enormous stage at the Wang Theatre by himself in what is usually confounding choreography for most viewers, demonstrates that without a doubt, he has moved to a new level of virtuosity.” (Theodore Bale, Dance International) “John Lam has emerged as one of the company’s most versatile and expressive soloists. He was riveting in William Forsythe’s ‘The Vile Parody of Address.’” (Karen Campbell, The Boston Globe)

TRAVIS MORRISON

JASMINE DE LACRUZ-SIMPSON

A native of Richardson, Travis Morrison PT, DPT received his ballet training starting at age three at the Tuzer Dance Center, under the instruction of Tanju Tuzer, Patricia Tuzer, and Linda Brown. After graduating high school, Morrison attended SUNY Purchase College and was taught

by Ted Kivitt and Richard Cooke.

He is also a 2006 graduate of the Miami City Ballet Preprofessional Program where he trained under Truman Finney, Edward Villella and Geta Constantinescu, among others.

Jasmine started her dance training with Pat and Tanju Tuzer when she was 5 years old. She performed in the Tuzer Ballet’s 2nd Nutcracker production! While in high school at Ursuline Academy, she tried out for drill team and fell in love with the “roar of the crowd.” It was an easy transition into cheerleading and she participated in the sport all the way to the collegiate level. In 2005, Jasmine was recruited by Nike and 24 Hour Fitness and became an official Nike Rockstar Instructor. For the past 14 years, she has called Life Time Fitness her home. In addition to teaching weekly group fitness classes, Jasmine also mentors and trains other instructors.

Morrison was a member of the Colorado Ballet from 2006 to 2012 and had the privilege of working with noted choreographers Michael Pink, John Gardner, Amanda McKerrow, Lila York and Septime Webre. He especially enjoyed performing in the ballets by modern choreographers Brian Reeder (Eventually) and Amy Seiwert (Things Left Unsaid). In addition to these contemporary roles, Morrison has also danced a wide range of classical roles in Swan Lake, Don Quixote, and Romeo and Juliet.

In her spare time, Jasmine choreographs musicals for the Repertory Company Theater in Richardson, Texas. She recently received a nomination from BroadwayWorld.com for “Best Choreography” for her 2017 summer production of Grease. Recent shows include The Addams Family Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Legally Blonde the Musical and Spamalot. While her formal title is Signature Program Master Trainer, she favorite title is “mom” to her three sons Jaxon, Zander and Jett. Jasmine would like to dedicate this performance to Mr. Tuzer and all the lessons he taught her on and off the stage.

In 2009, he was a competitor in the New York International Ballet Competition, and in 2011, had the pleasure of performing with Amy Seiwert’s company, Im’ij-re, in San Francisco. This also gave him the opportunity to work with contemporary choreographers Matthew Neenan, and Adam Hougland.

Morrison graduated cum laude from the University of Texas at Dallas in May of 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Most recently, he graduated with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from UT Medical Branch in Galveston, in August of 2018. Currently practicing in the Dallas area, he will begin his fellowship training with Manual Therapy Institute in January to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. He is deeply humbled and honored to carry on the Tuzer legacy by performing the role traditionally performed by Tanju Tuzer.

Albert Drake was born in Houston and has a BFA in Dance Performance from Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts. As a founding dancer of BWDP, he has been featured in 20 of Bruce Wood®’s works.

One of his favorite performing experiences was in Wood’s world premiere, Hide Me Angel, commissioned by TITAS for the 2014 Command Performance. His favorite choreographic experience was the creation and world premiere of Whispers, his first full-length, 25-minute work for BWDP in June 2015. He has restaged six works from Wood’s repertoire.

While attending she performed the Principal role in George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante as well as The Four Temperaments.

In 2009, Olivia was a featured dancer in the HBO series Masterclass with Emmy-nominated choreographer Bill T. Jones. She was the recipient of the prestigious National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts Award for jazz and dance and was selected as Dance Spirit Magazine’s March 2011 featured “Dancer to Watch.”

Rehrman choreographed and performed in Paul Cauthen’s music video, Saddle, which was named in the Top 10 Country Music Video by Rolling Stone Magazine. She was a company member of the world-renowned jazz company, River North Dance Chicago, for four seasons. She is currently in her third season with Dallas based company, Bruce Wood Dance.

As a freelance performer, Drake has been a guest artist with Dallas Metropolitan Ballet, Chamberlain School of Performing Arts, Collin County Ballet Theatre, and Dallas Repertoire Ballet, Tuzer Ballet and Gala’s from around the country.

As an artist-in-residence for Dance Council of North Texas’ Youth Dance Council, he created works for more than 70 middle and high school students from seven Dallas Independent School District for performances at the 2014-2016 Dance Planet Festivals. Teaching credits include Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts Dance Division and studios of Texas.

MARIE LAWRENCE Marie Lawrence was born in Dallas, Texas and grew up studying with the Tuzers from age 3 onward.

She has performed Tuzer Ballet’s Nutcracker countless times, playing a variety of roles from mouse, to girlfriend in the party scene, to waltz of the flowers, to her current roles as lead snow and Arabian. She is honored to be brought back year after year to perform with Tuzer.

At the 2016 SOLUNA: Rules of The Game, presented by Dallas Symphony and AT&T Performing Arts Center, Drake performed with Dallas Symphony Orchestra in a world premiere collaboration with choreography by Jonah Bokaer, scenography by Daniel Arsham, and original music by Pharrell Williams. Drake has toured internationally with Rules of The Game.

Over the years, Marie has also had the opportunity to train at several summer intensives including Pacific Northwest Ballet, Peridance NYC, and Hubbard Street Dance. Marie is a graduate of Berkner High School, and a senior at Southern Methodist University. Most recently, Marie has performed in Ascension set by Desmond Richardson at SMU, as well as performing in her own works at shows like SMU’s Brown Bag Dance series. In the spring, Marie will graduate with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Arts Management. In the future, she hopes to continue dancing and choreographing, and become even more involved in the Dallas art scene. This weekend’s performances of The Nutcracker are dedicated to Tanju Tuzer and his life, legacy, and family.

In August last year, the TACA Donna Wilhelm Family New Works Fund endowed BWDP with an unprecedented $70,000—the largest single award since the Fund’s inception five years ago. The award was earmarked for the development and production of Chasing Home—a new work about the refugee experience that delves into the struggles, hopes, fears, and dreams of displaced peoples. The project brought together Drake and award-winning New York composer Joseph Thalken.

THE STORY OF THE NUTCRACKER It is Christmas Eve and Dr. and Frau Stahlbaum are preparing for a grand party while their children, Marie and Fritz, eagerly await the evening’s festivities. As guests arrive, everyone rushes to greet family and friends, except for the pretentious Frau Rattenhausen and her ill-mannered daughter, who are met with disapproval. There is merriment, dancing, and gift-giving, and the Christmas tree is lit. Suddenly, Marie’s mysterious Godfather, Herr Drosselmeier, appears. A skilled and talented toymaker, he stirs the children’s imagination with a fascinating pantomime, and captivates all with life-sized dolls and a fearsome beast. He then presents Marie with a special gift, a handmade nutcracker doll fashioned as a soldier. After the children dance with their new toys, the party draws to a close as the guests say farewell. The family retires but mystery and magic linger in the Stahlbaum home.

Marie awakens, realizes she forgot her nutcracker and hurries back to the dark parlor, but is terrified to see large rats and mice scurrying about the room. After the clock strikes midnight, the menacing Rat Queen appears, but Herr Drosselmeier returns and transforms Marie’s doll into a brave Nutcracker Prince. Magically, the Christmas tree and presents grow larger than life. Marie watches in amazement as the valiant Prince leads an army of toy soldiers into a mighty battle against the rodent forces, finally slaying the evil Queen. The Prince invites Marie to the Land of Sweets, and she begins her journey through a pine forest, where delicate snowflakes and their Snow Queen swirl about.

As her journey continues, fairies light her way, and Marie arrives to find Herr Drosselmeier joined by her handsome Prince in the Land of Sweets. The Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes them to her palace, and the courtiers admire their bravery against the Rat Queen.

Delighted with her new guests, the Sugar Plum Fairy orders a feast of entertainment for Marie and the Prince. Rich Spanish Chocolate twirls before their eyes and Danish Marzipan Shepherdesses play their flutes. Sultry Arabian Coffee mesmerizes the court and the dainty Chinese Tea brings smiles to everyone. The German Gingerbread children frolic about and the Russian Trepak dancers captivate all with fantastic flips and jumps. After the enchanting Flowers perform a beautiful waltz, the Sugar Plum Fairy herself thrills the guests with an exquisite dance and Grand Pas de Deux with her Cavalier. As the dreamy evening comes to an end, Herr Drosselmeier reads to Marie, resting in her bed. She reminisces about the magical events with her beloved nutcracker by her side.

Tanju Halil Tuzer MCMXLIV - 2017

An accomplished professional dancer on the international stage, and one of classical ballet’s greatest ambassadors, Tanju Tuzer was a true artist. The art form flourished in his hands. As a man, he was a craftsman, an avid fisherman, a gardener and a beekeeper. To his core, he was an adventurer and a lover of the human spirit.

As an artistic director and teacher, he was maestro, a brilliant oracle of dance who had a passion for connecting the body to the soul while teaching students, whom he loved dearly. In these young minds, he cultivated tenacity and discipline. Through his commitment, he imbued generations of lives with his strong character. He taught that the true magic of dance was not found in powerful jumps or turns, but in the ability to transcend the mundane and take the audience into a higher, ethereal plane.

Tanju, you have influenced and inspired so many. We miss you dearly but your spirit lives in our hearts.

Your voice echos throughout the school and your passion lives on through us.

Tuzer Dance School, established in 1977, is dedicated to the study, performance, and appreciation of classical and contemporary ballet. We offer the highest quality dance instruction and education in a disciplined and nurturing environment.

Our mission is to prepare students with outstanding technique, inspiration, confidence, determination, and internal motivation to help them develop to their highest potential and, if desired, realize a professional dance career.

SETTING THE STANDARD

Our mission is to nurture, train and educate exceptional young dancers and to inspire the future of classical ballet training.
