Smuin Ballet: Fly Me to the Moon and Dancin' With Gershwin April 29, 2006

Debuting in March 1994, Smuin Ballet has quickly established itself as ?one of this country?s most entertaining, original ballet troupes? (Dance Magazine). Indeed, few names in dance are as widely known and recognized as that of Michael Smuin: at the heart of the company is Mr. Smuin?s singular ability to create pieces which merge the diverse vocabularies of classical ballet and contemporary dance forms. Recognized for its accessible and innovative repertory, the company adheres to the philosophy that ballet should be a living dance form that can continue to engage and delight modern audiences. In testimony to the success of this commitment, Smuin Ballet frequently performs to sold-out houses. Between 1995 and 2004, the company has premiered more than 40 works by Michael Smuin and has recently begun premiering works by a new generation of choreographers, drawn from Smuin Ballet?s own company of artists.
