Esprit de Corps de Boogie

Choreography by Julia K Gleich

Ballet is breaking out in this playful slant on tradition. Professional dancers and volunteers perform traditional group (corps de ballet) choreography, from which individuals break free until everyone is part of a celebration of ballet as a boogie dance form. Music ranges from classical to pop and rock.

Danced by Kara Chan, Tiffany Mangulabnan, Jordan Miller and Timothy Ward, with Arianna Hartanov and Shannon Maynor, and volunteers.

Commissioned by the New York City Department of Transportation for Summer Streets 2019
