Connecticut Ballet BALLET UNDER THE STARS/PANDEMIC VERSION "Dancing in a time of solitude..."

A perennial favorite with Untermyer Performing Arts audiences, Connecticut Ballet will present a series of unique solos, duets and a piece for five women. Many of these pieces were choreographed entirely remotely, using Zoom.

As Connecticut Ballet is at its heart a classical ballet, they also will present two virtuoso ballet solos from “La Bayadere” and “Don Quixote.”

Choreographers include Julia Bengtsson, Elena Comendador, Carlyn Hudson, Iddi Saaka and Lauren Lovette.

It truly will be another amazing Untermyer Performing Arts Council performance at the park!

Recognition of the Contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

We thank the indigenous peoples, caretakers of Mother Earth for many millennia, realizing and respecting her gifts of water, fire and air. This relationship is based on their profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth, the connection that guided their ancestors to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity.

Everything taken is used with the understanding only what is needed is taken. What is taken is watchfully used, aware of the amount taken and the method with which it is taken, to ensure future generations are not put in peril

We gratefully acknowledge the Native peoples on whose ancestral homelands we present our .performances, as well as the Native Communities who make their home in the Yonkers area today.

By caring for Mother Earth, you care for all of us.
