Nimbus Dance returns to the Bickford Theater with a program of dances perfect for lovers of dance and music. Morris Knolls High School students will join Nimbus’ dancers in Samuel Pott’s endearingly slapstick “Roseification” set to the spunky music of Valerie Coleman. The program includes several joyful performances to music by New Jersey composer Paquito D’Rivera and iconic Jazz songstresses Nancy Wilson and Nina Simone. Nimbus rounds out the evening with the final preview performance of Pott’s modernization of “Firebird” set to classic Stravinsky score which will premiere with the New Jersey Symphony at New Jersey Performing Arts Center just weeks later.
