We last saw the Joffrey Ballet in Kansas City back in the early 1970’s and still remember how impressed we were by the company’s energetic and masterful synthesis of classical ballet and modern dance.

We’ll be attending the Joffrey performance at Blossom on Saturday evening and we can’t wait to see one of America’s premier dance companies performing to live music by one of the most celebrated orchestras on the planet. We’ll be Twittering all our friends to attend — won’t you do the same? — and we’ll write about the concert in the Monday edition of ClevelandClassical.com. In the meanwhile, here’s an invitation for you:

We’re not among those who recall ballet performances at the Blossom Music Center — that all evaporated more than two decades ago — but we’ll wager that some of our readers do have vibrant memories of summer dance performances they attended in the Blossom Pavilion. We invite you to share your own experiences with the ClevelandClassical.com community by leaving a comment.
