Dance Vibrations: Julian Loida and Turning Pointe Dance Studio

March 22 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

$25

Dance Vibrations with Julian Loida and featuring Turning Pointe Dance Studio takes place at Falmouth Academy’s Simon Center on Friday, March 22, at 7 PM. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased here.

“You must see the music” is a philosophy that Turning Pointe founder Laura Sciortino and Julian Loida both deeply share.

“For me,” said Loida, “it’s inspiring to see my music fuel movement and become a kinetic visual art. After a collaboration at the Wellfleet Preservation Hall and in-studio workshop, we invited parents to watch the end of the experimental session and several of them were brought to tears. Encouraging young dancers to think out of the box and move with abandonment is not always the easiest thing, but when you can get dancers to break through those insecure layers that is often when the most magical things happen. So we are finally making this happen!”

Turning Pointe will participate in four portions of the concert. Most of their performance will be improvisation where the dancers have been given some guidance but have the opportunity to move freely. Laura will be choreographing a short piece while Julian plays a composition by Erik Satie. The concert will feature a piece choreographed by Isabelle Edgar, a Turning Pointe graduate.

The vibraphone will be featured in this concert, an instrument most are unfamiliar with — being a huge, remarkable musical table that’s brilliant sounding and entrancing.
