Connecticut Ballet - Free Event

Levitt Pavilion Presents the Inaugural Summer Season

This year's Connecticut Ballet Summer Dance Caravan will feature an all-new program, "Danza! A Celebration of Latin Choreographers", featuring exciting classical and contemporary works by Rodney Rivera of Puerto Rico, Alberto Alonso of Cuba, Daniel Fetecua Soto of Colombia, andMarcos Vedoveto from Brazil. Artistic Director Brett Raphael narrates. 

Founded in 1981, Connecticut Ballet is the state's professional ballet company, performing a diverse repertoire of new works, masterworks, and great story ballets.

The company has performed throughout New England in addition to special appearances at the Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival, New York's Riverside Dance Festival, Cape Cod Performing Arts Festival, Harbourfront Festival in Toronto, Grand Central Station in New York City, Goat Island Dance Festival in Newport, Rhode Island, and many other venues. 

Founded in 1981 by choreographers Brett Raphael and Luk de Layress, Connecticut Ballet's official debut took place (under the company's former title, Ballet Today) at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Shortly thereafter, the company made its Connecticut debut at the Stamford Center for the Arts, where it became a resident performing company in 1986.
