Now in its 21st year, Ballet Under the Stars showcases local professional ballet talent as well as professionals from around the world. This year for the first time, the Lexington Ballet Company (under artistic director Luis Domingez) will be presenting an act in addition to the Kentucky Ballet Company (under artistic director Norbe Risco).
The pre-show, which starts at 8 p.m., is presented by Kiddie Kapers, featuring children from the area who audition for a role (the show this year is "Beauty and the Beast"). The main show will feature a broad range of ballet styles, from classical to comedy to modern, geared toward seasoned dance appreciators as well as those who are less familiar with the art form.
