My wife and I started attending Dance Alive's Gainesville, Fl performances several years ago after attending a performance locally while they were on tour. We love them. Beautiful, wonderful dancers from all over the world and great choreography mostly by two excellent resident choreographers. Once a year they do a performance with the University of Florida Orchestra at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts which is always spectacular. If you are going thru the Gainesville area when they are performing don't miss them. We make a four hour round trip to attend. Next up with Orchestra performances "Phantom" Saturday, October 20th, "The Nutcracker" Dec 20-21, and "Bolero" March 15th, 2014.
UPDATE: Dance Alive's Phantom was WONDERFUL as was their ETERNAL LIGHT a couple of weeks later. What a GREAT BALLET COMPANY!!! read more
