Opening Night
Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater
EVENT DETAILS
WITH GUESTS, LIL BUCK & KJ TAKAHASHI
Join the ‘Conversations On Dance’ podcast in a discussion with one of Vail’s most celebrated mainstays, Lil Buck, and one of its newest artists, New York City Ballet dancer, KJ Takahashi. Buck and KJ will take us on a tour of their own relationships with ballet and street dance, how these two forms of dance have intersected for each of them in their own artistic identity, and working together in the reprise of Michelle Dorrance’s New to the Session.
Please note: ‘Conversations On Dance’ co-host, Rebecca King Ferraro, will be on maternity leave this summer. These live events will be hosted by Michael Sean Breeden with special guest hosts throughout the festival.
A limited number of tickets are sold to each LIVE recording of Conversations on Dance during the Vail Dance Festival. The episodes are released at a later date and listeners can enjoy them through any podcast app or listen online at conversationsondancepod.com.
Generously Underwritten by the Town of Vail.
