So much Joy... so close to home.

New Jersey Ballet Company celebrates its 42nd year October 2000 - May 2001.  New Jersey Ballet Company's extensive performance schedule is made possible by support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and by generous corporate, foundation and individual contributions.

An eagerly anticipated event, the premiere dance company of the state, the New Jersey Ballet, will make it's annual return to the Centenary Performing Arts Guild stage for two performances only, on Saturday, Nov 11 at 8 PM and Sun, Nov. 12 at 7 PM. Tickets are $15.

Drawing from a repertoire of over 60 works, highlights of this exquisite company's November performances will include Vasili Vainonen's The Flames of Paris Pas de Deux, a brilliant work offering dancers a showcase for classical fireworks; the Pas de Six from La Vivandiere, by Saint-Leon, a piece of incredible spirit, precision and gaiety; the Raymonda Pas de Deux, from the festival scene, by Marius Petipa; and the Glinka Pas de Trois by Balanchine, a witty and charming pas de trios that exemplifies the technically demanding style of Ballanchine's allegro dancing.

Tickets for the performances can be purchased by calling the Centenary Performing Arts Guild (CPAG) Box office at 908-979-0900, or through the Arts Guild Website, at www.centenarystageco.org. The CPAG Box office is open Mon - Fri from 2- 5pm and two hours prior to each performance. 

Seating for the Sat, Nov 11 performance is limited. 

Concert performances at CPAG are made possible in part through the support of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and Arts Guild members and sponsors.
