Kansas City Ballet opened its run of 2018 New Moves performances last night at the Bolender Center to a near sell-out crowd. The popular annual performances provide an outlet for creative choreographic expression for up and coming choreographers across the country, as well as, within the company. This year three Kansas City Ballet dancers (Emily Mistretta, Michael Davis, and Christopher Costantini) were awarded the chance to create new works on their fellow dancers along with three choreographers from the field (Abdur-Rahim Jackson, Mariana Oliveira, and Monique Meunier). The show opened with a work by Ballet Master Parrish Maynard set on the Second Company. Limited tickets are still available for this weekend’s performances. Order online or by calling 816.931.8993.
