In 2010 the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival will be lead by artistic director Benjamin Millepied, a principal with the New York City Ballet. Millpied has selected a star-studded line-up of dancers who will perform a program of classical ballet and contemporary works.
In addition, Millepied will present a lecture/demonstration.
Ballet students under the age of 18 and with at least two years of ballet training are invited to attend a free master class taught by a company dancer.
And, new this year, there will be a special performance for children.
Tickets go one sale in the spring of 2010.
