Dance is nothing without music, and many great composers have written music for dance or inspired by dance that become some of their most popular works. Obertura Tanguera by Argentinian composer Esteban Benzecry is rooted in the melodic and rhythmic turns of modern tango. Leonard Bernstein’s Three Dance Episodes from On the Town uses three scenes from his original ballet about three sailors on 24-hour shore leave in New York City.
This series is appropriate for families and kids ages 5 – 17.
