New Moves - September program

[Rock]

Ballet Arizona had an open rehearsal Friday of the new works to be presented September 27-30, 2018 at the Orpheum Theatre. They have Patrizia Delgado and Michael Breeden here staging Justin Peck's In Creases and it looked wonderful. Then there's a new ballet by company member Nayon Iovino which had a very unusual, beautiful PDD. Also on the program will be Ib Andersen's Rio. I would encourage anyone who's in the Valley on those dates to try to catch a performance.

I just wanted to post a reminder that Ballet Arizona's program - New Moves - will open this Thursday at the Orpheum Theatre, and run thru Sunday. This promises to be a program well worth seeing.
