Summer Dance

on BBC Two England

Tonight's programme is a salute to British choreographer Christopher Bruce, who was recently appointed as Director of the Rambert Dance Company, and features three of his most popular ballets.
Rooster, performed by the Geneva Ballet, is set to a selection of the Rolling Stones' recordings from the sixties and seventies - including Little Red Rooster, Ruby Tuesday, Lady Jane, Play with Fire and Sympathy for the Devil.
The haunting melodies of the high Andes provide the score for Ghost Dances, inspired by political oppression in South America and performed by the Houston Ballet.
Set to songs by Bob Dylan, Moonshine is performed by NDT3 (Nederland Dans Theater 3), a company founded for dancers over the age of 40 to challenge the notion of dance being only for the young. It takes its inspiration from eight songs including Paths of Victory, Talkin' Hava Nageilah Blues and Moonshiner.
