With the nation's birthday just around the corner, why not celebrate by making your way to the theater this weekend and catch the next performance on the American Dance Festival lineup. The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will be performing July 2-4 at the Durham Performing Arts Center in North Carolina as part of the 2009 festival. For three nights, members of the company will perform pieces including the reconstructions of Twyla Tharp's Sue's Leg and Lauren Dean's Night. In addition, the company will perform William Forsythe's Slingerland Pas de Deux and Jorma Elo's Red Sweet. For more information, visit www.dpacnc.com.
