PIGEONWING DANCE MAKES THEIR VERO BEACH DEBUT:

Presented by Ballet Vero Beach and Riverside Theatre, the Riverside Dance Festival features New York-based company Pigeonwing Dance for this year's event.

The Festival arrives at Riverside Theatre on August 2 & 3 at 7:00PM.

Pigeonwing, named for its blend of airiness and New York City grit, will treat Vero Beach audiences to Gabrielle Lamb's "Rising," an evening-length work performed to live music, which examines humanity's rising awareness of our connection to and dependence on the Earth's oceans.

One weekend only! Learn more about the performance and get your tickets below:
