RIOULT Dance NY launches the Queens Borough Community Dance Project, a new initiative, affording the rare opportunity for children who either live or go to school in Queens to rehearse and perform alongside the professional dancers of RIOULT Dance NY in a production of Fables.  Performances, presented in partnership with LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, will be in the Mainstage Theatre at 31-10 Thomson Ave., Long Island City, on Saturday, May 19 at 3:00PM. 

Fables celebrates the timeless stories that teach lessons universally embraced by the many cultures found in the borough of Queens. Inspired by the rhythmic narrative of Jean de la Fontaine’s Fables, choreographer Pascal Rioult uses the universal language of dance to bring to life familiar tales including the “Crow and the Fox’, “Tortoise and the Hare”, “Oak and the Reed”, “Ant and the Grasshopper”, and “Animals Sick with the Plague”.
