Men in tutus? It doesn't get better than this
 Brace yourself for Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Cause the prima ballerina is a dude! In fact all the ballerinas are. This all-male corps de ballet strikes at the heart of convention and cliches of classical ballet and proves that men can dance en pointe without landing on their butts. The Trocks (as they are known) are among the finest, classically trained dancers that offer up an evening of "unbridled artistry and unabashed fun." (That means they can dance and they're funny.) "By now their schtick has become classic." - The Newark Star Ledger. Sat, 4/12: 8pm. (Performing Arts Center, Purchase College, 735 Anderson Hill Rd., Purchase; www.artscenter.org |
