Join Yellowstone Ballet Company for an evening of love songs, famous classical pas de deux and a heartwarming story “From the Streets to the Stage” at Bozeman’s Willson Auditorium. “Songs & Dances of Love” is set for Saturday, February 8th, at 7:30pm.
Come bask in the love that the arts can bestow to all hopeless and hopeful romantics. The love mélange includes a number of talented performers.
Gold medalists Nicole Assaad and Luis Molina perform the amazing “Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia” to the beautiful score by Aram Khachaturian.
Former principal dancer of Ballet Argentina and Joffrey Ballet performing excerpts from Swan Lake and Romeo & Juliet, with principal guest artist Molly Groeschl.
A mother/daughter duet with rancher ballerina Annie Valle and her aspiring ballerina Mesa Valle.
Former principal dancers of Dance Theatre of Harlem, Fredrick Davis and Paunika Jones, in Le Corsair and a world premiere, The Lark Ascending, to the enthralling solo violin by Ralph Vaughan Williams, choreographed especially for the occasion by Davis.
Davis came from a life of poverty on the streets of Chattanooga. He didn’t have money to join a football team so he went to a free dance audition. With the love and inspiration of his ballet teacher, a church family, and a supporting community, Davis took flight and became that lark ascending through dance. He now gives back by helping under privileged youth.
Last but not least will be Dancing on the Stars and Make Believe sung by Bozeman’s distinguished soprano Ciara Wallace, as well as True Love Never Dies and Never Doubt My Love with Michael Koster and soprano Karen Dade.
Advance tickets for YBC’s “Songs & Dances of Love” range $29–$79, or $20 for students. Available for purchase at www.Yellowstoneballet.info. •
