Dancing on Water

November 28, 2001

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Rodeo, Agnes de Mille’s landmark Western Ballet, dancers from American Ballet Theatre have taken the ballet to the New York City streets—and rivers. On Wednesday, a New York Water Taxi filled with the costumed cast took off from 44th street, made a pit stop at the Statue of Liberty, and then headed to the South Street Seaport to give a tap lesson for 100 New York City public school kids.

 

Catch ABT’s dancers perform the ballet onstage next week during the company’s fall season at New York City Center, October 16–20.
