*About Ballet in Cleveland*
Ballet in Cleveland's mission is to revitalize the presence of classical
ballet in Cleveland, Ohio by presenting the highest quality professional
ballet companies as well as promoting the art through ballet-centered
programming and events that not only foster interest, but also educate and
entertain the community. Ballet in Cleveland will highlight the importance,
relevance, and entertaining artistry of professional classical ballet in
the region.

*About Ballets with a Twist*
New York City's next-generation dance company, Ballets with a Twist, is
taking the states by storm with its glamorous mix of critically-acclaimed
choreography, outstanding original music, and exquisite costume design.
Under the direction of celebrated dance-maker Marilyn Klaus - whose
eclectic background ranges from vaudeville and show dancing, to Isadora
Duncan and classical ballet - the company serves up classical ballet with
an irreverent pop sensibility, inventing a new genre of artistic
entertainment.

Cocktail Hour is a sassy, family-friendly suite of dances that brings
iconic American drinks to life. The show both reinvents ballet and pays
respect to the rich creativity of cocktail culture, launching the Martini,
Gimlet, Shirley Temple, and more off the menu and onto the stage.

Critics and audience members agree: Cocktail Hour is an artistically
seductive must-see. The New York Times praises Klaus' choreography as
"witty and fantastic," while The Huffington Post raves that the company is
"blasting the boundaries between high art and entertainment. We have seen
the future of dance, and it is fun!"
