City Youth Ballet joins “First Friday” festivities
Monday, June 29th, 2009
City Youth Ballet will join First Friday festivities in downtown Johnson City with a series of performances at The Charles Building on Main Street. First Friday is a monthly arts and music festival featuring artists throughout the region.
The CYB performances will showcase the work of our local ballet dancers and excerpts from the CYB’s productions. On Aug. 7, CYB will show excerpts from its spring performances of “Snow White” done in conjunction with the Johnson City Ballet Academy, the CYB’s training school.
“These performances are a way to bring ballet to the people of Johnson City who have supported us for so many years,” says Susan Pace-White, CYB’s artistic director. “We can introduce ballet to some and get the word out about our work in the arts.”
The Charles Building is located across from Hands On! Museum and just a few doors down from the Nelson Fine Art Gallery, the epicenter of the First Friday activities. For more information, contact Susan Pace-White, CYB artisitic director, 423-434-2195.
