    Nashville Ballet will be showcasing an outstanding line-up of dance works in its 2009 Winter Series. Artistic Director Paul Vasterling’s light classical piece, Adjustable Wrench, opens the program, followed by international choreographer Twyla Tharp’s Sinatra Suite, a debonair tribute to the romantic vocals of Frank Sinatra. The third work, Clowns and Others, choreographed by Salvatore Aiello, is an audience favorite in which dancers frolic through a variety of everyday vignettes, examining the foibles of human nature. Closing out the program is the bold, energetic Jungle, choreographed by James Canfield.

    The Winter Series features a special one-show only Family Matinee on Saturday, February 21 at 2:00pm. This collection of dances is geared towards younger audiences of ages three and up. It is the perfect introduction to dance and music in a professional setting utilizing shorter pieces with “kid-friendly” story lines, and an "easy to watch" performance time of 90 minutes. The matinee features Clowns and Others, “The Rose Adagio” from Sleeping Beauty (where Princess Aurora must choose among the handsome princes), and the charming narrated ballet, Degas and the Little Dancer.
