Travel Tip: Dance in United States
Joffrey Ballet

This programme includes the ballet Bells, by former Bolshoi Ballet dancer and resident choreographer for the San Francisco Ballet, Yuri Possokhov.

The Joffrey Ballet also performs Taiwanese-American dancer/choreographer Edwaard Liang's Age of Innocence, danced to music by Philip Glass and Thomas Newman. Liang drew inspiration from the 19th-century ballrooms of Jane Austen's heroines, where a glance or touch of the hand could ignite love, longing, and frustration. A world premiere by Houston Ballet Artistic Director Stanton Welch, commissioned by the Joffrey, closes out this programme.
