MORRISTOWN - The New Jersey Ballet is starting its 65th season at the Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC), and you don’t know what you’re missing if you haven’t attended a performance recently.

Under the tutelage of the new Artistic Director Maria Kowroski since November 2021, the ballet is attracting audiences of all ages. She enhanced the repertoire's programming with more variety and inclusivity, staying true to the company's commitment to artistic excellence. Friday night's A Night on the Town Performance treated the audience to a spectacular feast for the eyes.

The opening performance, Fancy Free, with music by Leonard Bernstein and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, was a ballet showcasing three sailors on shore leave on a hot summer night in New York City in 1944. Fancy Free was first performed in April 1944, when the world was at war and audiences back then and even now could relate to servicemen wanting to enjoy their time away from the horrors of conflict.

Bernstein's music added excitement to the dance, as the three male dancers showcased their athleticism, acrobatics, and impressive splits, receiving thunderous applause from the audience. The sailors encounter three attractive women and show their physical prowess, trying to outdo one another. Robbin’s unique style with his extensive work on Broadway makes these complicated dance moves look effortless. Robbins was a gifted ballet dancer and has enjoyed a successful career as a choreographer and director of Broadway musicals and plays. His decades of dance experience enhanced the program even more.

After a short intermission, ballerina Ilse Kapteyn and danseur Jonatan Lujan performed a stunning and provocative dance between two lovers in Reencounter. Choreographed by award-winning Gustavo Ramirez Sansano, he has taught dancing around the world. Those in attendance on Friday were privy to see his investment of time spent with the in-house dancers of the New Jersey Ballet. The fiery Spanish score of the piece received tremendous confirmation from the audience that what was witnessed was exceptional.

Denise Parungao and Joshuan Vazquez performed This Bitter Earth in the incredible pas de deux choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon. Wheeldon was trained at The Royal Ballet School and named New York City Ballet’s first Resident Choreographer in 2001. He created ballet productions around the world, and his expertise shines in this passionate dance.

The last dance, Rubies, with music by Igor Stravinsky and choreographed by George Balanchine, showcased special guest artist Daniel Ulbricht, former principal dancer with New York City Ballet and worldwide teacher of the art of ballet. Although this program was more of the traditional style many are accustomed to, it had a bold styling representative of Balanchine’s skilled work, and the bejeweled deep red costumes were spectacular. Risa Mochizuki, Ulbricht, and Raleigh Ledford gave momentous performances not to be forgotten.

The New Jersey Ballet has something for every lover of expressive dancing, and their 2022-2023 program will be at the MPAC and other fine performing arts centers throughout the state.

New Jersey Ballet presents A Night on the Town at the MPAC, featuring guest artist Daniel Ulbricht. The company included Raynor Rubel, Brian Sevilla, Jonatan Lujan, Louis DeFelice, Joshuan Vazquez, Eunice Suba, Denise Parungao, and Raleigh Ledford. Also on stage were Ilse Kapteyn and Risa Mochizuki, along with the rest of the company.

We've been hot on the campaign train for the past few months supporting local candidates as they meet and greet voters in towns and counties across New Jersey.

My friend Mark Taylor is running for re-election as mayor in Florham Park and we spent the afternoon last Thursday meeting voters in two great locations in the Morris County town.

One stop, SLIK, is not only a top-shelf hair care establishment, but the owners are experts and have on-site training for people wanting to get into the industry. They are a great example of strong, successful entrepreneurs who are equipped to deliver a great customer experience.

The second stop was at a fantastic restaurant across the parking lot where the pizza has been rated as some of the best in the nation.

SLIK Barber Lounge

Owners Jose and Kelly run a great business. It's an experience that allows you to grab a haircut and an old-school straight razor shave complete with a reclined comfortable chair and a hot towel.

Jose is a trainer who can also get newcomers to the industry the proper training to get licensed and work. The lounge is inviting and decorated well, giving off a vibe that you'd rather hang out than rush out. Complete with pics of historically famous people getting a haircut and an expert staff, including their partner and stylist, Curtis, who is ready to invite you in and have you feeling like a million bucks.

Nonna's Pizza

Chef Owner Andrew Horowytz is running one of the best casual Italian restaurants in New Jersey. He's a great chef, a friendly family man and an outstanding entrepreneur.

The place was packed for lunch and everything from chicken parm to pasta to their top-rated "grandma's pizza" is on the menu.

It's delicious and as you can see from the picture, half was gone as we walked across the parking lot.

Even barstool sports weighed in on the deliciousness.
