Chevalier Ballet NYC Presents "A Dancer's Christmas"
12AM
A DANCER’S CHRISTMAS
Chevalier Ballet Company presents a showcase of dances from
A Dancer’s Christmas, a 35 year Boston Holiday Tradition, created by choreographer Robert Vereecke. Chevalier Ballet is under the direction of Sara Knight. Guest artists, Maresa D’Amore Morrison and Michelle Principi will also perform, as will a children’s cast.
In its 35 year run at the Robsham theater at Boston College, A Dancer’s Christmas was known as “the religious alternative to the Nutcracker” (Boston Globe) It was described as one of the “few artistic offerings during the Holiday season that truly takes into account the spiritual meaning of Christmas” (Boston Herald) An excerpt of VerEecke’s choreography to “A Lark Ascending” will be performed in honor of the 150th anniversary of the birth of British Composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Along with its spiritual and celebratory value, “A Dancer’s Christmas” is an economic value as well. At $20, it is within the reach of many families who would like to do something special in this Holiday season.
