Elegant,
sensual, and captivating, the Lily Cai Chinese Dance Company melds
ancient Chinese forms with modern dance in an artistic and inventive
marriage of styles. The Company bridges the continuum from past to
contemporary - from spectacular court dances of Chinese dynasties to
contemporary works fusing classical Chinese movement, modern dance, and
ballet, complemented by dazzling costumes, original music, and
innovative staging. Cai says that when dancers are on stage, they want
the audience to feel the performance. “I want people to see the beauty,
feel the beauty, and see that it’s unique.”
The next performance is Sunday, March 30

Sierra Nevada trail rides from Mono Lake to Bodie and as a troubadour,
sings his way all over the west. Tickets are on sale now by going on line to www.calaverasarts.org or by calling (209) 754-1774.
