On Sunday we went to the Arpino Dance Festival at the Joyce Theater in Manhattan. The weather wasn’t too bad getting there apart from some light rain. Our train went out of service the stop right before St George which was annoying but luckily a bus arrived basically right away that we took to the ferry instead. We arrived at the theater with most of the class.
I had a really good seat. I was close to the stage but not so close that I had to look up to watch. I was pleasantly surprised by the show because it was a ballet. My favorite of the four acts was the second to last. It was so satisfying to watch and the dancers were so talented. I loved the costume design of the first act, it reminded me of classical ballets. The most striking act with the best music to me was the last one, it was so cool to see so many dancers working together. Overall, I liked the show a lot more than I expected to and was happy I went.
The weather on the way back was a lot worse and there were significant bus delays but I eventually made it back home.
