Dancing with Horses to Perform at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest
We’ve always tried to include some entertaining performances in conjunction with all the fabulous wine and food. Usually, its been great local music, but this year, the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest is proud to present the Equus Projects’ Dancing With Horses.
The Equus Projects partners professional dancers with horses and their riders to create performances that merge the artistry of dance with the athletics of equestrianism. The brainchild of choreographer JoAnna Mendl Shaw started as a collaboration between the Mount Holyoke College Dance Department and Equestrian Program and has expanded across various equestrian venues as well as arts venues. The Company has taught clinics for equestrians and workshops sharing their equine techniques with dancers. Their touring has taken them to arts and equestrian venues Washington, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.
Keep an eye on the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest website for specific performance times and more information.
