Poughkeepsie City Ballet present
Gaite Parisienne

Stroll through Paris with Poughkeepsie City Ballet in their delightful new production of Gaîté Parisienne. A mystical Raconteur will take you on a journey filled with singers, angelic harpist, waltzing dancers and high kicking can can girls that will explode into a dazzling and colorful production. Students from New York Academy of Ballet will entertain young and old as they dance the roles of Parisian School Girls, Bluebirds in the Court and The Seasons of Paris.

Guest artists Steven Melendez …“A truly fairy-tale prince, six feet tall, broad-shouldered, courtly and serene, Mr. Melendez dances with power and sweetness; his lifts look effortless, his jumps are airy yet controlled.” The New York Times, December 14, 2001…“Melendez… had a plie so soft and a jump so high that he took everybody’s breath away.” The Dance Insider, 2000… and Kristie Latham, soloist with Ballet Next and top 12 finalist at the Youth American Grand Prix Finals, will enchant all as they dance the Flames of Paris pas de deux. Enjoy a pre and post show concert by Juan Cardona, Jr. on the Mighty Bardavon Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ.
