Frank Ohman's New York Dance Theatre and the Ohman School of Ballet will present this unique program of ballet and balletic dance featuring all original choreography to a broad range of musical genres: classical, contemporary, jazz, Broadway and world music will all be represented. Guest artists include DaVon Doane of the Dance Theatre of Harlem, Nicole Loizides of MOMIX, and internationally acclaimed pianist Pablo Lavandera, artist-in-residence at Stony Brook University. New York Dance Theatre dancer and SAYVILLE RESIDENT LAUREN LOSCHIAVO will be performing. The title "Adventures in Ballet" reflects the idea that this classic art form is not just about story ballets and classical music exclusively, but that it can be expressed in different modes and in abstract ballets. The music of Bach, Ravel, Liszt, Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, Marcus Miller, Philip Glass and others (including original music by Long Island musicians) will round out this program for an audience of all ages. Come experience ballet as you never have before!

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloated…Read More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more.
As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less?
This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must.
Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are.
To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
