Dance Alive National Ballet will perform its “Honoring Our Past…Celebrating Our Future 1956-2026” 70th anniversary recital on Sunday, May 24.
This event will take place at 2 p.m. at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts (3201 Hull Rd., Gainesville). Click here for tickets.
This recital will be a reflection of 70 years of classes, from starting at The American Legion Hall (now the Matheson History Museum) to a studio on Main Street (where Holy Trinity has their school) to the present studio on 2nd street, while we eagerly look forward to our new home on NW 39th Avenue – The Khoury Family Center for the Performing Arts.
Graduating seniors featured in the program include Irma Impink (UF on scholarship), Bryana Robinson (FAMU), Leo Cuevas (Santa Fe), Leah Perine (UF) and Lydia Pignato (UNF).
Dance Alive National Ballet Principal Stirling Kolb will dance the role of Basilio with DANB Corp de Ballet member Victor Mancuso appearing in two numbers.
