some enjoyable and unique performances have been captured. Photos from Ballet Under
the Stars and a Bharatnatyam performance in San Antonio are available for viewing.
Impressions of Blue Lapis Light's Requiem, the Big Range Dance Festival, and Houston
Ballet's Don Quixote, and Texas Youth Dance Council showcase will be online soon.
