On Friday, February 4, 2011, you are invited to join our dancers in Fort Myers’ River District, at Art of the Olympians, for An Evening of Beauty. Performance times are 6:45pm and 7:30pm. Admission is free.

Our dancers will present two new pieces of choreography in Ballet and Modern Dance. Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker excerpt “Snow”, choreography by Jennifer Reed, is dynamic with a sense of a swelling snow storm and the calm that falls after. Continuing an introspective perspective “Undercurrent”, choreography by Alyce Bochette, is an expression of forces pushing us apart and swirling us together.

Dancers will perform downstairs before and after the Opening Ceremonies for the Art Exhibition – Passion on Paper -which will be upstairs.

The Art of the Olympians building is at 1300 Hendry Street, in downtown Fort Myers.
