The Blankenship Ballet Company of Venice has been vigorously striving to amplify the exhibition of the arts by seeking to eliminate what the late composer Richard Wagner labeled the "Mystic Gulf" between the audience and the dancers. Such an artistic goal has been accomplished to the delight of thousands of spectators who have been inspired by Blankenship Ballet's presentation of World Class Dancers performing Classical Ballet and Cuban Ballet and other forms of dance in eclectic intimate venues that enable the audience to connect and feel the powerful evocative energy of the ballet arts.
The Blankenship Ballet Company of Venice is thrilled to be able to continue its artistic endeavors at Vibiana, which is a magnificent venue originally constructed in 1876 and carefully renovated and restored to its original beauty and repurposed for use as an arts, performances, and events complex.
The Cuban Ballet & Dance Extravaganza on May 30, 2009 will commence at 7:30 pm and will conclude at about 9:00 pm. The audience will be invited to remain in the magnificent venue to meet and greet the dancers and enjoy the adjacent courtyard. Cuban food and beverages will be available on an a la carte basis for an additional cost.
The Blankenship Ballet Company's Cuban Ballet & Dance Extravaganza will be a truly memorable and endearing evening---a unique and rarefied artistic exhibition of World Class Ballet performed by luminous Ballet Artistes in an historic artistic venue.....
