Festival of Dance at the Ford Amphitheater

How lucky we are to live and enjoy the offerings of the Vail Valley. After the departure of three top notch orchestras in July, we are now presented the opportunity to see some of the best dancers in the world. The Vail Valley Foundation has hired Damian Woetzel from the New York City Ballet to create a two week blitz of dancers from all over the world. Last night at the Ford Amphitheater he presented us first with Ashley Bouder and Daniel Ulbricht from NY City Ballet, and then switched over to the Keigwin Company, which presented modern dance to the sounds of Neil Diamond, Nina Simone, and Aretha Franklin. This was all followed up by the Flamengo Dancing of Soledad Barrio and her Noche Flamcinco Company.

The rest of the week will be filled with The Wheeldon Company does Morphoses, and then in the streets of Vail will have ballroom dances giving free instruction  to anyone who wants to dance. The Finale will be World Champion Ballroom Dancers at the Amphitheater on Saturday night, an evening that has always been memorable to all that attend every summer.

Just in case we don’t leave .out Beaver Creek, the Vilar Center will feature Pat Benatar on Monday night, Aug. 11 and that will be followed by the Credence Clearwater Revival Revisited on Sunday, Aug. 17.
