The company has traveled all over the world but returns home to Brooklyn for this special engagement. The performances will take place in the state-of-the-art BRIC House Ballroom, which is conveniently located in Downtown Brooklyn at 647 Fulton St.

The program runs from Nov 17-20 and tickets are $18 in advance.
