BRATTLEBORO — Tickets are on sale now for “City Lights,” the annual spring dance performance presented by Company of Muses in association with Brattleboro School of Dance.
For the last two weekends in May, Brattleboro School of Dance students, faculty and alumni will perform a varied program of original choreography on the theme of life in cities at the New England Youth Theatre. Dance styles include modern, jazz, ballet, tap, and ballroom. Some pieces will be the same each evening, while solo pieces by seven senior dance students will alternate over the course of the six performances.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. for the Friday and Saturday performances (May 22-23 and May 29-30) and 4 p.m. on Sundays (May 24 and May 31). The New England Youth Theatre is located at 100 Flat Street in downtown Brattleboro.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and children under 12 years old. Advance purchases can be made online at www.BrattleboroSchoolofDance.com or at the dance studio on Saturdays from 11am to 3pm (22 High St., third floor, Brattleboro). Tickets will also be available for purchase at the Brattleboro Food Co-op, from 4 to 6 p.m., on Tuesday, May 19 and Thursday, May 21.
Proceeds from the “City Lights” benefit the Brattleboro School of Dance Scholarship Fund, which provides tuition assistance to underserved families in the community.
