Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org), the non-profit dance and performing arts company for talented young dancers, musicians and actors, will present a new program of performances entitled “Soirée: An Evening Celebrating Dance and Music” on June 8, 9 and 10 at The Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder.

The program will include new works by Danse Etoile Artistic Director Marie-Jose Payannet, as well as classical repertoire ballet and guest performances from Irish dancers, musicians and singers.

Performances will be held on:
• Friday, June 8 at 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday, June 9 at 7:30 p.m.
