En el jardín is a collaborative work that weaves the flamboyance and earthy rhythms of flamenco and the physicality and imagery of modern dance. Following the story of the Serpent, and of Adam and Eve, the dance integrates the natural surroundings of the outdoor museum and the abstract forms of the sculptures to create an imaginative, organic yet contemporary Garden of Eden.


Music by Argentine composer, Osvaldo Golijov and guest palmeras: Leanne Alexandrini, Kelsey Burns, Cathy Carr, Anna Castro, Alena Docena. Costumes by Anna Castro.

Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

Thanks so much to Maria Alonso Snyder for this exciting alert: Starting this THURSDAY, July 23rd, and continuing every Thursday night through September 17th, the Mercer County area will be able to enjoy its own version of outdoor ballroom when Henri Velandia from the Princeton-based Hot Salsa Hot studio brings “Forrestal Summer Night Swing," a salsa-and-swing-social, to the Forrestal Village. The evenings will include live music by Swing Sabroso, as well as free dance lessons (7-8 pm) with Henri as well as special performances in addition to the 8 – 10:30 pm social dancing!!!

The modest suggested donation of $5 goes to support Dancevision, the Princeton-based dance education non-profit.
