12 - Brevard Live January 2022bourne City Dance Center, and in 2018 they founded Mel-
bourne City Ballet Theatre, a not-for-profit year-round
ballet company.
“Our first production was Sleeping Beauty in 2018,
a project that cost $80,000 we did not have,” says Ar-
tem but giving up their dreams has never been an option.
“We made our money back with ticket sales and a little to
spare for the next production.” With the support of their
Board of Directors and several fundraisers around town,
they kept building their We Dance Ballet & Ballroom
Academies, and worked on their next show in Decem-
ber 2019 - Swan Dance. The full-scale production, set
to the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky and based on folklore
and legend, follows a heroic young prince as he works
to free the beautiful swan maiden from an evil spell. The
Melbourne City Ballet Theatre and the world-renowned
Ukrainian State Theatre of Ukraine join their forces for
this masterpiece ballet, replete with Petipa and Ivanov’s
original steps, glittering tutus, and sumptuous sets, ready
to draw you into the fantasy all over again.
What makes it different from other productions is
that Artem blends over 100 dancers from our community
with 55 professional dancers of the State Ballet Theatre of
Ukraine into an unforgettable ballet magic. “Other cities
have asked us to bring this concept to their theaters,” says
Artem. The choreography is his trademark.
Three months after the successful Swan Lake show,
Covid happened. Now what? “We kept on teaching after
the first initial lockdown in April,” says Katya who has
several competitive ballroom students who travel from
across Florida to train with her each week. By the way,
these talented and fortunate dancers have already become
winners of several ballroom dance competitions in the
state of Florida.
“We taught via zoom, with distance in the studio, and
outside. We even had a 2-hour-show at Wickham Park
Pavilion,” says Katya. By now they have two locations,
one in Viera, the other one in Melbourne. Altogether they
teach about 150 students. “It’s ground-breaking,” says
Dr Susan Pinsky, Vice Chair of Community Relations.
“We feel extremely fortunate that Artem and Katya have
chosen Melbourne as their home and have such a pas-
sionate commitment to share their experience, time, and
hard work with our local dancers. Together, with your in-
volvement and support, we will place Melbourne in the
spotlight on the world map of ballet.” Working with these
two talented Artistic Directors is a Board of Directors
and Company Guild dedicated to serving the community
by supporting and managing the MCBT. The Guild is 28
members strong and growing daily.

The Column
By Chuck Van Riper
Become a Hippy
H ippy New Year! Hope you all didn’t get too holidazed
this past season. Whew, made it through another one.
Are we ready to face a new year? I’ve been pondering
New Years resolutions since I haven’t made any the past
decade or two. This year I think I will. What would be the
best things I can do to make the world a little better. If we
all did something to make the world a little better, how
much could we collectively accomplish this year? Maybe
we can all make a better world this year. It’s not that dif-
ficult, it’s starts with the little things.
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and was very much a
hippy. Yes, I know, hippies get a bad rap for being dirty
and lazy. Perhaps some were, but that’s not what it was
all about. Sure, getting high was a daily occurrence and
music and dancing prevailed, but there was much more to
the philosophy of the movement as I see it. Concepts that
we can certainly use today. The whole idea was to make
a world of peace and love, to respect each other, love and
nurture Mother Earth, and make a better world for every-
one. Why are these concepts so foreign to us now?
“Turn on, tune in, and drop out” was a major mantra of
the counterculture of the day. I guess I kinda did that. After
leaving college after a year, my travels began. Sometimes
I would hitchhike long distances across the country. One
of my most memorable experiences is sitting on an under-
pass somewhere in Kansas with my backpack and guitar.
It was pouring rain and I was just hanging out waiting for
it to stop. I thought to my self “Hope this rain ends soon so
I can continue my journey.” Then I realized that it didn’t
really make a difference. I really didn’t have to be any-
where and actually, I never had to be anywhere ever again
at that particular moment. Such is a feeling of freedom
most do not get to experience in their lifetime. Perhaps we
should all experience that at least once in life. Throughout
my hitchhiking adventures, I always seemed to end up at
my destination with more money than when I started due
to the generosity and kindness of those who would pick up
a hitcher. Maybe we need more of that kindness. Some-
times we would sit around passing a doobie or two around
and discuss the goings on in the world at the time. There
were times when disagreements arose. We didn’t get mad,
we respected each other’s opinions. We pondered each
18 - Brevard Live January 2022idea fairly. We remained friends and partied on. May-
be we need more of that. We were, at times, very poor,
yet scraped together enough to get a cheap little apart-
ment or rent a room. We definitely need more of that. If
someone needed a couch to crash on, no problem. If it
was available, you shared it. If someone needed a meal,
same thing. We shared what we had to help our friends,
friends who would become family forever. Maybe we
need more of that. Spiritual awakening was a big thing
then. To understand ourselves as spiritual beings in the
physical plane was a major undertaking. It didn’t make a
difference, we figured, if you were following Christian-
ity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or whatever. They all
led to enlightenment. We could tolerate and learn from
each other. Maybe we need more of that.
As a musician, I’ve had the honor of playing with
great musicians from all around the world. From Germa-
ny to South Africa, from Greece to France, from Ukraine
to Ireland, we all played together. Sometimes the dis-
cussions would turn to “What’s it like living there?”, or
“What’s the food like?”, or “What kind of TV shows you
have?”. What I’ve found is that people all over the world
just want to live in peace and harmony and do something
they love. That’s universal. It’s the greed of the powers
that be that interferes with that happening. Maybe we
should ponder that.
Back in the 80’s, there was a call to be a “kinder,
gentler nation”, although it really didn’t end up that way,
did it? Well, this year I want to dedicate more time to
artistic endeavors, music, art, writing, whatever. Maybe
we all need more of that. Maybe we can all contribute to
a kinder, gentler world.
ChristMIFF 2021 continued
After the red carpet everyone took a short walk down
the sidewalk to Hemingway’s Tavern for the award cer-
emony dinner. Hemingway’s did a great job accommo-
dating the festival and its participants and I have a feeling
it will become another regular component in this grand
tradition. Rockstar Entertainment was on hand with their
special brand of karaoke, for anyone that felt the spirit
move them, and making his second appearance at the fes-
tival was musician Chase Ryland soon to become a home
town favorite I’m sure. The coveted awards were deliv-
ered to their deserving owners and the rest of the night
was a celebration of not only film, but also friends and
the joy of life out in the open. Another slam dunk Cronin,
can’t wait until next year!

Walsh’s recent account of their SCMF performance, writ-
ten exclusively for Brevard Live Magazine is a thing of
beauty.
“Walking the streets of Highland and Creel, it nearly
felt completely surreal,” he begins. “2020 and all that was
missed, 2019 nostalgia brought ‘21 bliss. With a world
consumed by fear and hate, The Space Coast united with
the tone it creates. The culture, the art, and the people that
made it; all raising money for the next generation. Origi-
nal music from all different genres, taking the stages like
Island Root Kava; Intracoastal, Pineapples and Against
the Grain; It was the Groove Shack bands stealing the
day. We took the stage at 6:15, after catching our favor-
ite bands on the scene. Drum pieces missing, the power
half workin’, we still plugged in and did it with purpose.
Locked and loaded with songs old and new, the crowd
was rolling deep with the Iron Will crew. Mic in the crowd
and one thing we could trust, that they would be scream-
ing Rooftops with us. In all the breakdowns, the kids were
raging; we left just thinking ‘mama, we made it.’ Take just
one second and please follow us. www.Facebook.com/
ironwillrock and @ironwillrock on Instagram. Each and
every fan will impact us. New music & new shows are
coming soon - we’re setting up for a helluva ‘22.”
That’s it for the first column of the new year. I wish every-
one health and happiness in 2022 and remind you that we
have a lot to look forward to. Feel free to drop me a line at
