Open Air: Manhattan

Ballaro Dance presents a summer performance series titled "Open Air" featuring dance in outdoor spaces across five cities in New York State and Connecticut: Manhattan, Brockport, Buffalo, Sandy Hook, and Oyster Bay. Set in unique places (like community gardens, roof tops, and farms) the dancers will interact with these spaces through site-specific performances, and share a traditional performance of the Company's repertory on stage.

"Open Air: Manhattan" takes place on a rooftop with a gorgeous backdrop of a surrounding church and the neighboring community buildings. The dancers will greet the audience with a pre-show, site-specific exploration beginning at 6:30pm, and the performance will start promptly at 7:00pm, finishing just as the sun sets.

Ballaro Dance will present a few of their "greatest hits" including audience favorites: "Jazz For Six", a fun, care-free ensemble work exploring musicality and gesture, and "Stairway To Nowhere", a quirky solo composed of acrobatic feats of flexibility and power, paired with serpent-like characterization. Several other new dances will round out the repertory engaging audiences of all ages through the Company's energized approach to modern dance. The show will also feature Boston-based cellist, Rob Bethel, playing live in both the site-specific and repertory performances.

"Open Air: Manhattan" will be held rain or shine, and we'll plan to enjoy whatever Mother Nature gifts us! In the event of lightning, the event will be relocated and you'll receive notification via email of the change. Online tickets are available through 12pm on the day of each performance. Tickets sold after that will be available at the door for $25, cash only.
