Moonlight, sweet perfume on the breeze, the passionate strains of a waltz, and sheer idiocy. Soaring flights (literally) of ecstasy, unparalleled technical virtuosity, and pratfalls.

“Anybody can dance” is a maxim of the modern dance world.  This ballet proves that any body can dance.

Petite prima ballerina assoluta Marianne Humainette interpreted the Valse in C# Minor from Les Sillyphides, a homage to the classical romantic ballet, Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot, Chuck Jones, Marius Petipa, Michel Fokine, Tex Avery, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Wile E. Coyote.


The program also included two other wonderfully imaginative ballets, Peter and the Wolf by Ron Guidi and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Scott Rink.
