Kids Dance
Spring Season 2008
As part of Ballet Tech's two-week season at the Joyce Theater in April, select students ages 10 to 18 performed four ballets by Eliot Feld, including the premieres of Quickstep and Dotty Polkas and reprisals of Apple Pie and Meshugana Dance.
Here's what some critics said about the program:
The man behind the "Mandance Project" is Eliot Feld, a beloved, home-grown choreographer who at 65 remains as provocative, as brilliant…as ever. (Robert Johnson, The Star-Ledger)
One high point was "Dotty Polkas," a new piece choreographed for children who study at his school. Whether or not many go on to careers in dance, Mr. Feld has created a junior ballet ensemble that for once reflects the spirit and racial composition of New York City. And in "Dotty Polkas," to music by Johann Strauss, he has given the youngsters dance that both stretches them and allows them simply to be their spirited, charming selves onstage. (Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times)
Upcoming Kids Dance Performances
On August 20, six students will perform A Stair Dance at the Chicago Dancing Festival. These students will perform alongside professional dancers from American Ballet Theatre, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and the Joffrey Ballet.
