| A Look Back on ARB's Fantastic Fall Season |

The Company's Fall Season was full of exciting, top-notch dancing and choreography.
ARB kicked off the Season with Rep at Rider, presenting previews from the fall repertory.
Next up was 4 Flavors - ARB's opening performance as Artistic Affiliate at Hamilton Stage for the Performing Arts. The dancers gave our new Union County audiences a great first taste of ARB, performing Trinette Singleton's Capriccios, Patrick Corbin's Follia, The Bedroom Pas de Deux from Douglas Martin's Romeo and Juliet, and Mary Barton's Straight Up with a Twist. Music for Straight Up was played live by Kaila Flexer and her band!

Finally, last weekend, ARB returned to The Theatre at Raritan Valley Community College with An Evening of Premieres. The Company unveiled Faerie Tyme, a world premiere by our talented Resident Choreographer Mary Barton, a company premiere of Blackberry Winter by Ann Marie DeAngelo and a major revival of Viva Vivaldi by Gerald Arpino.
