Big Apple Circus May 5, 2011

'Dance On!' features performances of Invited to the dance: an awesome troupe of monocyclists and lasso twirlers from China; a mind-bending group of Mongolian contortionists; a kinetic collection of Kenyan athletes who shimmy up a pole as though gravity were a joke!; A herd of hoofers - twelve miniature horses in an equine chorus line; and an Ethiopian juggler with a lively uptempo act that's hard to beat. Your Host is Ringmaster Kevin Venardos, aided by star clowns Rob Torres and of course, Grandma. With live music by the Big Apple Circus Band, there'll be cavorting in the aisles, and even you and your family will be dancing in your seats. This year's production is directed by Eric Michael Gillett, choreographed by Peter Pucci, with costumes by Ann Hould-Ward, set design by Todd Rosenthal, lights by Brian Nason and sound by J P Perreaux.
