Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance will return to Winston-Salem on July 8 for a one-night-only performance.
The âunconventionalâ professional ballet company last performed here in 2019 after a seven-year hiatus. But the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the dancers from doing any performances last year. Previously, the company performed here from 2008 to 2012.
Terpsicorpsâ artistic director and founder Heather Maloy said the company performs contemporary ballet.
âItâs more a combination of modern dance and ballet,â Maloy, a University of North Carolina School of the Arts alumnus, said.
She added that this will be the first time that Terpsicorps has performed outside in Winston-Salem.
She believes that audiences want to be inspired but may not be ready to sit inside to do it.
