Talk about flower power! The impish forest creature, Puck, places one flower petal in the wrong spot and all sorts of passion, heartache, confusion and comedy takes place. It's the ultimate in love triangles; on-again, off-again relationships; and mismatched lovers trying to find their way through life while finding their way through an enchanted forest.
The ballet will be performed to the remarkable score that, almost overnight, made Felix Mendelssohn a star. This magical, musical Shakespearean comedy with all its hilarious plot twists and turns is brilliantly told in dance. The supernatural characters of Puck, Oberon and Titania, and a full retinue of fairies and sprites are performed by the students at Dancing in the Streets AZ . Bring all the mischief-loving members of your family!
Dancing in the Streets Arizona (DITSAZ) is a non-profit dance organization geared to the diverse children and families of South Tucson. These families have not typically seen ballet as an appropriate alternative to the gangs and after school mischief that can tempt their children. But because of the charisma, enthusiasm and educational talent of Husband and Wife DITSAZ Co-Founders/Artistic Directors, Joseph Rodgers and Soleste Lupu, numerous families are embracing ballet as a way to open paths of productive creativity and discipline, paths that can help children grow beyond the confines of a disadvantaged neighborhood. DITSAZ uses the excitement and discipline of ballet to guide children in achieving life goals.
Vision: To be recognized as a world class performing arts organization, primarily for at-risk youth, committed to the region’s
cultural and artistic development.
Mission: To use the power of dance to break down cultural barriers and enrich the community’s artistic experience through
the creation of a diverse dance school and company.
Goals: Dancing in the Streets Arizona will provide dance education, primarily tp high-risk children and youth. Dancing in the
Streets Arizona will provide quality after-school, evening and summer dance activities to instill life skills and discipline.
