A World of Dance

CDI/Concert Dance, Inc. returns to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ruth Page Dance Series with A World of Dance. The limited engagement not only celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Ruth Page Dance Series but also commemorates CDI’s Artistic Director Venetia Stifler’s retirement from the NEIU Department of Music & Dance Program. Both evenings will feature live musical accompaniment and five of Stifler’s favorite works, ranging from her earliest choreography in 1981, The Chicago Project, to last year’s stunning Ravinia Festival-commission, Fly Me To The Moon, as part of the Frank Sinatra Centennial Celebration. Also on the program will be special guest Ruth Page Civic Ballet, with a preview of its world premiere dance created as part of a 2015 cultural exchange with Cuba’s Escuela Nacional de Ballet.
