The Sofia National Ballet of Bulgaria recently performed Posin&#8217;s European premiere of Scheherazade. She has choreographed over 50 works and has been supported by the Guggenheim Foundation, The New York State Council of the Arts, The National Endowment of The Arts and the Jerome Robbins Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>All festival activities will be concentrated in downtown Fort Wayne: The Marriott Courtyard, Arts United Center, FW Dance Collective and the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center.<\/p>\n<p>Three evening performances, May 2,3,4, will be open to the public. This will be a unique opportunity for our community to see some of the best dancers in the nation. All evening performances will be held at 7:00pm at the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center (PAC). General public performance tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the (PAC) ticket office the evening of the performances.<\/p>\n<p>With over 400 dancers, families, judges and visitors, the five-day event will bring in an estimated $241,310 in economic impact to Fort Wayne.
