DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nSedona Choreography Retreat: Where Visionaries Create the Future of Dance \nDates: June 11–13\, June 15–20\, 2025\nFinal Showcase Performance: June 20\, 2025\nWebsite: sedonaballet.org/retreats \nSet against the breathtaking backdrop of Sedona’s iconic red rocks\, the inaugural Sedona Choreography Retreat is an extraordinary convergence of artistic brilliance\, innovation\, and collaboration. Over the course of ten electrifying days\, world-class artists will come together to create new works that will premiere in an exclusive final performance—offering audiences a rare glimpse into the future of dance. \nAt the heart of the retreat is Nayon Iovino\, renowned choreographer and Artistic Director of the retreat. Known for his emotionally resonant and visually stunning work with Ballet Arizona\, Iovino will debut a brand-new ballet inspired by the haunting compositions of Christel Veraart. Drawing from Veraart’s evocative album Nostalgia and her latest audiovisual creation Santa Fe & Esmeralda – Nostalgia\, Iovino’s new work promises a profound fusion of music\, imagery\, and movement. \nJoining him is the incomparable LaTasha Barnes\, an award-winning dancer\, choreographer\, and scholar celebrated for bridging Black social dance traditions with contemporary innovation. At the retreat\, Barnes will unveil the Flow State Project—a groundbreaking interdisciplinary performance that translates live movement into real-time digital soundscapes. Each gesture creates a sonic imprint\, inviting audiences into an immersive sensory world where rhythm\, energy\, and technology converge. \nIn collaboration with the nationally recognized Ballet Arizona\, the Sedona Choreography Retreat brings together an elite ensemble of Ballet Arizona’s professional dancers alongside top emerging talent from Arizona State University’s prestigious dance program. Together\, these visionary artists are creating a collaborative environment rarely seen outside of major metropolitan centers. \nThroughout the retreat\, the public is invited to engage deeply with the creative process through a series of Conversation Workshops\, Open Rehearsals\, and a Masterclass for local students. These events offer an unprecedented opportunity to witness the evolution of new works\, meet the artists\, and experience the dynamic collaboration between choreographers\, dancers\, musicians\, and designers. Aspiring young dancers will also have the chance to work directly with these distinguished artists\, receiving mentorship and inspiration to fuel their own artistic journeys. \nThe retreat culminates in an electrifying Showcase Performance on June 20\, 2025\, featuring world premieres and celebrated masterpieces: \nWorld Premieres \n\nNayon Iovino’s new ballet inspired by Christel Veraart’s richly atmospheric music and visual storytelling\nLaTasha Barnes’ Flow State Project\, a dynamic exploration of dance\, technology\, and cultural roots\n\nSpecial Repertoire Highlights \n\nExcerpt from Serenade by George Balanchine\nWith permission from The George Balanchine Trust\, audiences will experience Sonatina—an excerpt from Balanchine’s landmark Serenade. Set to Tchaikovsky’s lush score\, this piece captures the timeless grace\, sweeping musicality\, and emotional resonance that defined Balanchine’s revolutionary vision.\nTake Me With You by Robert Bondara\nA powerful pas de deux set to Radiohead’s haunting Reckoner\, Bondara’s celebrated duet has traveled the world from Roberto Bolle and Melissa Hamilton’s original performance to stagings at Stanislavsky Ballet\, Czech National Ballet\, and soon\, Dance Theatre of Harlem. It is a lyrical yet visceral meditation on connection\, longing\, and the unspoken dialogue between two dancers.\nVastwave by Natasha Adorlee\nEmmy Award-winning choreographer Natasha Adorlee brings her latest creation\, Vastwave\, to life with Ballet Arizona’s Studio Company dancers. Blending electrifying original sound design with kinetic contemporary movement\, Adorlee’s work captures the ebb and flow of human experience through evocative waves of sound and motion.\n\nThe Sedona Choreography Retreat represents a bold new chapter in dance innovation—blending classical excellence\, contemporary vision\, multicultural roots\, and cutting-edge technology in one of the most inspiring natural settings in America. \nThis is a rare opportunity to witness the birth of groundbreaking new works and experience the creative forces shaping the future of dance. \n🎟️ For full details and ticket information\, visit: sedonaballet.org/retreats

SUMMARY:CaZo's Once Upon a Bachelor Season 3: Third Times a Charm (Tempe)
DESCRIPTION:Third Times a Charm as Once Upon a Bachelor Returns For Season 3 \nMesa\, Arizona\, February 16\, 2024 — CaZo Dance Theatre leap to the stage this Spring to debut season three of their wildly popular\, full-length dance production\, Once Upon a Bachelor. \nAlthough much of the show stays true to its roots\, season three opens its doors to the show’s first fairytale bachelor\, Reyrana\, Prince of Padovia. “The original idea for the show was to showcase a dozen fairytale princesses vying for the love of an ordinary man\,” says CaZo Creative Director and Choreographer Bridgette Borzillo. “But as the show continues to grow in popularity\, we have to keep upping our game. Having the bachelor also be a fairytale character felt like a perfect next step in the show’s evolution.” \nTo build even more excitement for the show\, Borzillo called upon the show’s fans to choose which characters from past seasons would return. “Once Upon a Bachelor has always been an interactive experience. Allowing the people to vote for which characters would appear in this new season added a new level to what makes this show so popular.” \nLike its predecessors\, Once Upon a Bachelor Season 3: Third Times a Charm includes plenty of pre-recorded “confessionals” sprinkled throughout the show. With 35 different possible outcomes due to 8 voting opportunities and Audience participation\, each performance will be an exciting and fresh experience. \nOnce Upon a Bachelor Season 3: Third Times a Charm will be performed LIVE at Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W. Rio Salado Pkwy.\, Tempe\, AZ) on Friday\, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday\, April 27 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at www.cazodance.com or on Cazo Dance Company’s official Facebook Page. Prices are $28 for general audiences\, $20 for students\, $55 for VIP (limited quantities)\, and $22 for virtual tickets. \nDoors open 45 minutes prior to the top of the show and will include a thirty-minute pre-show that includes live performances from CaZo Dance Theatre’s Apprentice\, Pre-Core members\, and our Studio’s Student CaZo X Dance team\, along with introductory confessionals that are sure to leave you in stitches. \n“Three years into this show\, we’ve found a natural footing\,” says Borzillo. “Because of that\, season three is set to become one of our best shows in our 10-year history.” \nTime to find love for a third time with your favorite fairytale characters! \nContact:\nBridgette Borzillo\nCaZo Dance Theatre www.cazodance.com moc.liamgnull@ynapmocecnadozac 619-322-4178

With a belief in the vast potential of movement\, creativity\, and performance to effect personal change and social transformation\, Gina Gibney established the Gibney organization in Manhattan in 1991. Today\, Gibney’s presenting and training fellowship and residency programs have served and supported thousands of New York City artists and audiences. Community outreach programs have impacted hundreds of lives\, especially those who have been impacted by domestic violence\, economic inequality\, and workforce development. Gibney Company has grown from a small troupe of dancers presenting Gina Gibney’s choreography into a critically acclaimed internationally touring contemporary dance company\,dedicated to commissioning and presenting today’s most compelling choreographers. Gibney operates two New York City locations—280 Broadway near City Hall and 890 Broadway above Union Square—encompassing 23 studios and five performing spaces that serve as a nexus for a diverse and expansive artistic community.   \nAbout Gilbert T Small II \nOriginally from Baltimore\, Maryland\, Gilbert T Small II’s formal training started at the Baltimore School for the Arts.
