Poughkeepsie troupe to perform classic
On Saturday, June 11, the Poughkeepsie City Ballet, featuring students from the New York Academy of Ballet, will present its futuristic, steampunk-infused interpretation of the fantastical world of Wonderland imagined by Lewis Carroll 150 years ago. Act II features a Jabberwocky Battle choreographed by Steve Rooks, former principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company.
