The world-renowned Joffrey Ballet<\/a> comes to the Granada Theatre<\/a> for two nights of incredible dance performances of works by George Balanchine<\/a> and other acclaimed choreographers, presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures<\/a> on Tuesday, March 5 and Wednesday, March 6 at 8 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Joffrey dancers, costumed and lit and shockingly talented, are like a rock concert for the eyes,” reports <\/span>Huffington Post.<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the repertoire\u00a0included in on the Santa Barbara stage is one of Balanchine’s earliest experimental works, two pieces by modern ballet master Nicolas Blanc<\/a>, the unique cinematic vision of Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman<\/a>, contemporary ballet darling Justin Peck<\/a> with a work set to a score by Philip Glass<\/a> and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa<\/a>‘s stunning depiction of a turbulent cloud formation. These wide-ranging programs display the inestimable skill of the Joffrey Ballet’s dancers, classically trained to the highest standards, and the company’s unique, inclusive perspective on dance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
