American Contemporary Ballet presents Astaire Dances
LA's Most Romantic Valentine's Date
In just a few short years, American Contemporary Ballet’s Astaire Dances has become one of the city’s most popular Valentine’s date-night traditions. It’s also a romance with Hollywood itself, paying tribute to the industry’s golden age and the genius of one of its most towering talents. Astaire Dances is an evening out like it used to be – elegant dance, glamorous clothes, cocktails, entertainers and of course, live music. It’s also a reminder that some of the most romantic moments ever put on film never involved a line of dialogue. Presented in the semi-immersive context of a 30s-era nightclub, Astaire Dances opens with a set by Conan O’Brien writer/comedian Brian Kiley and the premiere of a new Astaire-inspired ballet by ACB Director Lincoln Jones. The show features classics that celebrate some of Astaire’s most famous silver screen moments, including meticulous recreations of choreography from The Band Wagon, Silk Stockings, and You Were Never Lovelier, all performed to live renditions of the music that inspired them: “Dancing in The Dark”, “All of You”, “I’m Old Fashioned” and more. Opening night and Valentine’s Day performances include Champagne receptions
