🌸🎶💜🩰🎺 CSDS Youth to perform in “Dance Distinctive”, presented by City Ballet of Boston April 12 & 13, 2025 at The Strand! —

City Ballet of Boston (CBB) under the artistic direction of Tony Williams, presents “Dance Distinctive,” an unforgettable celebration of dance, featuring six contemporary works by Tony Williams, Gianni DiMarco, including two premieres by choreographers Chu Ling and Lorraine Chapman. With dancers from City Ballet of Boston and renowned guest artists, the performances take place at the historic Strand Theatre in Dorchester, April 12-13.

Tony Williams, Artistic Director, says, “Returning to the beautiful Strand Theatre is truly special for me. My connection to this historic space goes back to my childhood, when it was a moviehouse. I later had the honor of performing on its stage in 1980, when it became a live theater. The Strand also holds a significant place in my journey as it was where my Urban Nutcracker first premiered in 2001.”

Performances at the Strand Theatre (543 Columbia Rd, Boston, MA 02125), take place on Saturday, April 12 at 3pm, and Sunday, April 13 at 3pm. Tickets start at $20 and are available at cityballetofboston.org.

The six young dancers pictured here earned their roles in the show by successfully completing an audition process with CBB. These CSDS dancers are excited to perform Ella Fitzgerald classics like “A Tisket, A Tasket”, “Bubblegum”, and more in the Dance Distinctive program!! Bravo!! 🌹
