For over 35 years Ballet Arts Ensemble (BAE) has provided outstanding dance productions for Kalamazoo
residents at family-friendly prices. This year’s spring concert is no exception! Artistic Director Cathleen Huling
has created an event that features diverse works, from the serious to the whimsical, sure to please a variety of tastes.

Current BAE members will be joined by BAE alumnae, students from the WMU Dance Department, and other
guest performers to present:

● A full-length performance of Les Sylphides with music by Frederic Chopin and choreography by Michel
Fokine as well as a pas de trois from Le Corsaire to music by Adolphe Adam
● A new work, choreographed by BAE alumna Margaret Huling to music of Léo Delibes
● Two contemporary pieces—a pas de deux performed by guest dancers Seyong Kim and Eun-Kyung
Chung and a premiere work by guest choreographer/dancer Lynn Bowman
● A reprise of Ms. Huling’s delightful Wee Bit o’ Irish, set to the music of the Belfast Harp Orchestra
● A fun swing piece to the music of the Manhattan Transfer, choreographed by Ms. Huling and members of
the BAE alumnae cast
