American Repertory Ballet Will Perform at NJPAC's Jersey Moves! Festival of Dance

American Repertory Ballet will perform in New Jersey Performing Arts Center's second annual Jersey Moves! Festival of Dance. The performance will be on April 27, 2013 at 7:30pm at NJPAC's Victoria Theater. ARB will be performing Gerald Arpino's Viva Vivaldi. This charming, virtuosic work in the classical ballet vocabulary will share the stage with Irish dance presented by Timothy Kochka and The Davis Academy, Indian dance by Bani Ray and her dancers, tap by New Jersey Tap Ensemble, and contemporary dance by Dance Tactics and Nimbus Dance Works.

ARB also participated in NJPAC's inaugural Jersey Moves! Festival of Dance in 2012. It is a celebration of dance in New Jersey; a diverse program that showcases works from companies throughout the state and across dance genres. This year, Jersey Moves! was presented in two installments - a performance in February and this one on April 27. The performance will close with a question and answer session with the Artistic Directors and choreographers, including ARB's Artistic Director Douglas Martin and former ARB dancer Samuel Potts, Artistic Director of Nimbus Dance Works.

"We are excited to be a part of this great dance festival again this year at this beautiful venue," says Martin. "Arpino's Viva Vivaldi is a real crowd-pleaser, and we're looking forward to performing it for a new audience at NJPAC."
