Looks like The Kennedy Center is the place to be this weekend. The New York City Ballet is in town to perform and also to teach a creative movement workshop for non-dancers. I’ll be at the Sunday matinee. It’s my first time seeing them perform so I’m really excited! The Washington Ballet will also be in the house finishing out their production of Le Corsaire. If you follow them on Twitter, you may have been amused by their pirate tweets promoting the show. Finally, if you love cultural dance then make your way to the National Cherry Blossom Festival Performance Stage at Sylvan Theater. Hawaiian, Panamanian and African step dance performances are scheduled for the closing weekend.
