2016-17:REVOLUTIONARY
Regalia February 11, 2017
Returning for the second year, REGALIA features record-breaking choreography with the opportunity for you to award a commission. With two pricing options (with or without a full gala dinner), this will be both a performance and a lively party. The evening will finish with a live band and dancing for all on stage. A portion of your gala ticket is tax-deductible.
Dabke April 6-8, 2017
The final show of the season is an evening-length work by Zvi Gotheiner. Blending Middle Eastern folk dance, Arab pop music and contemporary dance, “Dabke” is about conflict in the Middle East and conflict in the world. Building from the excerpt performed in the 2015-16 season, RDT will perform the full, evening-length work to close the 51st season.
