Fri 7/31 @ 7PM
Summer is a big time for area ballet companies, with venues such as Cain Park and the Heinz Poll Dance Festival in Akron offering them the chance to perform to audiences in bucolic outdoor settings.
That obviously not happening this year, but area companies are busy connecting with fans online. Verb Ballets, for instance, will be hosting a live stream of an all-classical ballet program called Classical Variations. It includes the festive, challenging Raymondas’s Wedding, which features diverse dances that show off different styles and skills.
The program will also feature Rococo Variations, the only classical ballet choreographed by the late Heinz Poll, founder of Ohio Ballet, where Verb’s associate artist director Richard Dickenson performed the work when he was part of that former company.
