Also on the program are Marcos Ramirez and Kate Inoue of Los Angeles Ballet performing George Balanchine's Stars and Stripes Pas de Deux, and a musical theater medley performed by David Prottas, a dancer, actor, and ballet teacher with ten years at New York City Ballet and credits in the Broadway revival of Carousel, accompanied by Adam MacDonald with choreography by Jeni Jones.
