American Repertory Ballet previews its 2012-2013 season with performances in Rider University’s Bart Luedeke Center Theater Friday, September 21, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, September 22, at 2 p.m.
The program will feature Douglas Martin's elegantly expressive Ephemeral Possessions, excerpts from Trinette Singleton's athletic Cappriccios and Mary Barton's sensual Straight Up with a Twist and more. The performances are part of the Ballet’s residency at Rider University, which includes master classes for students enrolled in Rider’s Dance program and lecture-demonstrations for the community.
The company will also present a lecture-demonstration on Wednesday, September 19, at noon in the Bart Luedeke Center Theater. Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend.

Students also have the opportunity to double major, combining dance with Elementary Education, Theater, Communications or Business.
