5th Anniversary Benefit Screening of Mirror Dance

MIRROR DANCE  tells the story of Margarita and Ramona de Saá. Born identical twins, the sisters grew up to become acclaimed ballerinas with the National Ballet of Cuba. Once inseparable, their relationship deteriorated as one sister left for America while the other embraced the Cuban Revolution. MIRROR DANCE is the story of two women forever linked by birth and dance but struggling to overcome a deep rift between sisters and nations alike. This award-winning, internationally acclaimed documentary was first broadcast on PBS in 2005.

 The screening will be followed by a “Q & A” with some of the film’s main characters and filmmakers Frances McElroy and Maria Teresa Rodriguez.

 Proceeds benefit the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet Society Scholarship Program and The Lower Merion High School Interact Club.
