Yerba Buena Center For The Arts - Dance

Dance

Dance at YBCA includes various forms from many various cultures. In October 2008, Israeli choreographers Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak presented their production of "Shaker" by combining ballet, modern dance, mime, and acrobatic techniques. In addition to more collaborative art forms, YBCA also presents more classical forms of dance, such as ballet. Alonzo King held his show Lines at YBCA in November 2004, which centered around African American field recordings with various forms of music, narrative, and film playing in the background.

Famous quotes containing the word dance:

    They dance with reluctance, they are growing civilized; the old men
    persuade them.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    I could dance yet—only had a good fiddle—I like music. A good fiddle always starts the Negro, even if he’s old.
    Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)

    Ah, it is sweet on the hills,
    to dance in sacred faun-pelt,
    to dance until one falls faint,
    to beat the sacred dance-beat
    until one drops down
    worn out.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
