Ithaca Ballet presents: DANCE FOR GISELLE with Sonia Dvorak
A live ballet class via Zoom on Saturday, May 9, 2020 (12:30 - 1:45 pm EST)
Ithaca Ballet, like arts organizations throughout the United States, was forced to cancel its spring 2020 production of Giselle to safeguard the health of its dancers and the public during the COVID 19 pandemic. To help fill the significant gap that this created for the Company, Ithaca Ballet alumni have offered their time and talent to raise money through a series of live, online ballet and contemporary dance classes. Thank you for supporting Ithaca Ballet in this time of great need.
