Ever uttered "That gives me the willies!" while hearing a scary story or encountering a spider? The phrase just might have originated with the ballet Giselle, in which the ghosts of young maidens who died of heartbreak haunt the highways and forests in the dark of night. Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre's virtual program this fall includes the hauntingly beautiful Wilis dance from Giselle, Midnight Fairies from Cinderella, and other brighter works to juxtapose the spookiness, as well. Dancers from BRBT's Youth Ballet, who's summer tour of libraries and community centers was canceled, will be joining the company for the performances.
