About
Ages 8+
Enjoy these short films that celebrate the magic of movement around the world! See how birds swarm in a beautiful symphony in the sky, marvel at a dancing Yeti that storms Paris, and join a blind man as he grooves to the deep vibrations of music. The program also spotlights two young people who turn the streets and playgrounds of Los Angeles into their dance floor, and gives an in-depth peek into the lives of two, pre-teen dancers who are rising stars in the school of the Royal Danish Ballet.
We are excited to welcome ULRIK BIRKKJAER, principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet, former Royal Danish Ballet, to introduce DANCE FOR LIFE at 7 pm on Sunday, Jan. 27. Ulrik will tell us more about WHEN I DANCE, the film that anchors this program the story of pre-teens Ella and Sylvester, two of the Royal Danish Ballet Schools rising stars. Join us for a soaring program!
