Poughkeepsie City Ballet present
Stars & Stripes Forever

Salute the Spirit of America with Poughkeepsie City Ballet in this sparkling new ballet—Stars & Stripes Forever. With music from Copland to Sousa this patriotic red, white and blue extravaganza will delight young and old alike. Guest artist Steven Melendez, principal dancer with New York Theatre Ballet, will amaze all with his spectacular spins and gravity defining leaps.…“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

The confetti will pop and the American Flag will proudly wave as The Strawberry Hill Fiddlers, New York Academy of Ballet and trumpeters Joseph Garvey and David Puchkoff play and dance to classic American tunes including a rousing parade to 76 Trombones. Juan Cardona, Jr. performs on the Majestic Bardavon Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ with a pre and post-performance concert.
