Dancing ‘Fool’s’

The Wild West meets ballet!

On April 9, the Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn revives its Wild West-inspired ballet, choreographed by Artistic Director Marla Hirokawa, and will present two new works.

The ever popular “Fool’s Gold” is a fairy tale about a young man who struggles with greed and lawlessness after becoming entangled with an evil spirit known as the Siren. Guest choreographer Matthew Westerby will premiere “The Red Scare,” a high energy dance set to music by Cut Chemist, a new wave technotronic group. Another new work, “Brought to Light,” also by Hirokawa, is inspired by medieval cathedral architecture and set to J.S. Bach’s majestic Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor.

Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn’s “On Track” program at the Kingsborough Performing Arts Center at Kingsborough Community College [2001 Oriental Blvd. at Decatur Avenue in Manhattan Beach, (718) 368-5596], April 9 at 2 pm and 8 pm. Tickets $20, $17 for children 12 and younger and seniors. For info, visit www.kcckpac.org.

The most compelling motivation for learning to code is that it enables building something kids can call their own. What makes this approach "worth it" for the kids is that at the end of the road, they see that their code actually does things in the real world. Not in some playpen, but in the real Internet where anyone can access it.&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Programs:<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Penguin Coding School <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">provides comprehensive coding education to kids ages 5-18.
