The Dances After Dusk

The night comes alive with the passion of tango, the colors of stained glass, and the vibrancy of movement. Choreographer in Residence Keith Lee illuminates the stage with his intricate work, Stained Glass. Kelly Silliman of Stanardsville presents a witty piece called Dancer Blues set to original music by Andy Waldeck. To close the evening, Charlottesville Ballet heats up the theater with a reprise of Ariadne Conner's who's it all for anyway?, a sinewy tale of loves lost and gained as told through the eyes of tango.

Join us for a fantastic evening to warm the winter! Friday, February 26th and Saturday, February 27th, both at 7:30pm.
