'Sylph' performances feature former stars of Milwaukee Ballet

Several former Milwaukee Ballet dancers are featured in "Sylph," a new ballet from Dawn Springer Dance Projects set for performances Oct. 11 and 12 at the Jan Serr Studio, 2155 N. Prospect Ave.

Annia Hidalgo, Itzel Hernandez and Janel Meindersee will join Sejain Bastidas and Natalie Dellutri in dance choreographed by Springer, with music by composer-percussionist Jon Mueller.

“For women in ballet, leaving full-time companies in their 30s is a common reality, often marking the beginning of freelance careers — if not forced out of dance entirely,” said Springer in a statement announcing the performances.

“With 'Sylph,' I want to elevate their artistry and explore how ballet can evolve when women lead the conversation,” Springer said.

Performances will take place 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12. "Sylph" is being staged in the round.

Tickets are $35. To order them, visit sylph.brownpapertickets.com .

The Jan Serr Studio is on the sixth floor of the Kenilworth Square East building.
