I love the Pittsburgh Ballet company took traditional work of art: Ballet and flipped it on its head to create a new rendition for the 44th season. I love to watch dance recitals that are new and not a clique adaptation of a past performance. I wish I had had the opportunity to see this performed; however, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to see new and innovate dance piece like Dance Light. The concept of having Stompers and a Bomb Squad gets my attention and probably got the attention of many other audience members as well.
