Director of Dance at VCA Center for Dance Christine Juarez, right, instructs students in a rehearsal for the dance school’s spring performance of “Dancers at a Gathering” and “Cinderella.” It will be the inaugural dance performance in the Vashon Center for the Arts’ new Katherine L White Hall. Guest pianist, islander William Kirkpatrick, will play, on stage, Chopin selections to accompany the advanced students performing “Dancers at a Gathering,” a non-narrative ballet. The second half of the program will be Prokofiev’s “Cinderella,” with all new choreography — including ballet, modern and tap — by five Center for Dance faculty. The show opens on Friday, June 3 and runs through the weekend, with matinees on both Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are available at VCA, Heron’s Nest and vashoncenterforthearts.org.
