The Russian Seasons Dance Company will stage "Holiday of Dance" in December, taking audiences on a dance journey through Eastern European folklore.
"Holiday of Dance" will journey through not only Russia, but also the cultures of Ukraine and Serbia. The performance will be in two parts. The first half comprises "Russian Suite", "Quadrille Dance (On a Bench)", "Ukrainian", "Duniasha", "Serbian Suite", "Forelock" and "The Don Suite". The second half comprises "Peddlers", "Russian Step Dance", "The Village Orchestra", "Two Shores", "Coachmen", "Russian Boots", "Kuban Cossacks Suite" and "Kalinka".
Russian Seasons Dance Company was founded in 1991, and gave its first public performance at the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Russia, attracting numerous dance lovers and critics. Later Nikolai Androsov, the company's artistic director and choreographer, received an invitation to perform in the United States in 1995. As a choreographer deploying new styles, Androsov is able to transform dance from the simplest, most ancient Russian folk dance to neo-classical and modern style.
Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, "Holiday of Dance" is one of the attractions of the "Cheers!" Series. It will be staged at 8pm on December 12 (Saturday) and at 3pm on December 13 (Sunday) at the Auditorium of Tuen Mun Town Hall. Tickets priced at $140 to $240 are now available at URBTIX.
