Nacre, Saratoga Springs’ Modern Dance Company, will present a weekend of dance on April 13 and 14 at 8pm and April 15 at 2:00 pm at The Universal Preservation Hall located at 25 Washington Street.

This professionally based company will present Doris Humphrey’s 1928 “Air for the G-String” and the theatrical 1930 “Shakers”; Ruth Currier’s 1959 “Brandenburg Concerto #4” (final section); and excerpts from May O’Donnell’s “Dance Sonata”. Nacre ‘s 2012 Guest Choreographer, Heather Acomb, will premiere her new work “Of Harmony and Chaos.” Heather is a member of the Bill Evans Dance Company and an adjunct dance faculty member at SUNYGeneseo.

To round out the program, Nacre welcomes artists from the American Dance Legacy Institute who will share a selection from their repertory etudes.  Repertory etudes are short dances based on signature works of American choreographers.

Tickets are 15.00 for students and senior citizens and 20.00 for general admission.  Tickets can be purchased at www.nacredance.com or purchased at the door.  Partial proceeds from this concert will benefit the restoration of The Universal Preservation Hall.  For additional information, please email Beth@Nacredance.com or phone 518-435-0510.

With its clever concept, fun songs and six tasting-sized glasses of wine, Wine Lovers: The Musical provides not only a fitting intro to the world of wine, but also a highly entertaining and comical diversion to your evening out. The show emphasizes the fascination and romantic side of wine as something to appreciate and savor; and though in many ways it’s more indicative of a wine tasting concept than a full-fledged song and dance musical, it does contain enough of a romantic storyline and a hearty dose of comedy to keep your interest piqued throughout. It’s also easily the most fun wine tasting class we’ve ever been to, and we also walked out learning quite a bit about wine. Wine Lovers is currently in production at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga through August 21, 2011.
