Ballet Next October 27, 2012

Ballet Next-the new classical ballet company founded by former American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet luminaries Michele Wiles and Charles Askegard--returns to The Joyce for its first week-long run. The Company will present two programs that feature classical works from Petipa and Balanchine, and highly-anticipated contemporary premieres by choreographers Margo Sappington and Brian Reeder. Another highlight is Ballet Next's original work 'La Follia,' created by Italian choreographer Mauro Bigonzetti. Ballet Next Musical Director and concert cellist, Elad Kabilio, will lead a classical ensemble of musicians performing live.
