"Every shape that my body can make... flowing from one movement to another, being able to see yourself in yourself in your mind's eye... connected with every creature that has lived or died." -- Lorna Brown
"Spring"
Choreographed by Kaitlyn Weaver
Music by Vivaldi
ITNY has always taken great pleasure in introducing young competitive skaters to the pleasure of performing for an appreciative audience outside the rigors of testing and competitive skating. 2022 US Figure Skating Championship series medalist and ITNY apprentice Ella Bauer will perform "Spring," choreographed by Olympic ice dancer Kaitlyn Weaver in celebration of Kid's Week at Bryant Park.
"Vogue"
Choreographed by Joanne McLeod and Cesar Valentin
Music by Madonna and Shep Pettibone
ITNY will host Canadian guest artist Emanuel Sandhu. He will be performing "Vogue," which he choreographed in collaboration with his coach Joanne McLeod, and NYC "Ballroom" dance choreographer Cesar Valentin. The piece transcends an attitude and expression to speak what is unique about human individuality.
