A ballerina's graceful balance is inspiring to aspiring dancers, captivating to houses of cards, and vexing to bulldozers razing cliffside condor habitats. Dwell on adroit appendages with today's Groupon: for $13, you get one upper-tier ticket to "An Evening of Mixed Repertoire" performed by Neglia Ballet Artists at the Performing Arts Center at Rockwell Hall at Buffalo State College on Saturday, May 14, at 7 p.m. (a $25 value).

Neglia Ballet Artists pirouettes into the hearts of ballet lovers and causal audiences alike with masterfully executed contemporary and traditional ballet pieces. The company's "An Evening of Mixed Repertoire" illuminates the Performing Arts Center with classic and modern showcase dances ranging from a Balanchine piece to an ultramodern robot pas de deux. Heralded last year by Buffalo News reviewer Steve Sucato as “…arguably the finest [production] mounted by a local dance organization in the past decade…,” this year's mixed repertoire will ensnare audiences with the hoofing talents of resident artists as well as national and international guest dancers and choreographers.

Founded more than a decade ago by Sergio Neglia and Heidi Halt Neglia, Neglia Ballet Artists enriches the region's cultural environment by staging professional-quality shows year-round to foster support for the art form’s versatility and underrepresented box-toed shoes.
