North Reading School of Ballet

Train with one of Boston's most accomplished contemporary dance artists at North Reading School of Ballet!
NRSB is thrilled to welcome back Levi Marsman—acclaimed choreographer, performer, and educator—whose impressive career spans some of the nation's most prestigious dance institutions, including Alvin Ailey, Boston Ballet, and Steps on Broadway. From performing with renowned professional dance companies to creating original works for leading arts organizations, Levi brings a wealth of professional experience and artistic insight to this exclusive masterclass.
Fusing a modern jazz warm-up with an emphasis on contemporary movement, dancers will explore unconventional approaches to choreography and artistic expression. The class will focus on weight distribution, core stability, proper alignment, and musicality while challenging dancers to expand their movement vocabulary, refine their technique, and discover new possibilities in their dancing.
Part of NRSB’s Dance Workshop Series, this masterclass offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from an internationally recognized dance artist. Open to both current NRSB students and dancers from the surrounding community, this is an experience you won't want to miss!

Temple Emanuel of Andover invites the community to a special evening of music, friendship and celebration on Saturday, November 14, at 6:30 p.m., featuring guest musician, songwriter and cantorial soloist Ben Romano, also known as “Benny P,” and Temple Emanuel's Cantor Caitlin McLaughlin.
The evening will begin with Havdalah, the traditional Jewish ceremony marking the conclusion of Shabbat and the beginning of a new week, followed by an intimate musical program featuring original compositions, familiar favorites and opportunities for audience participation. The celebration will conclude with a dessert oneg, providing an opportunity for guests to gather and connect.

“Ben and I have been friends and musical collaborators for many years, and I'm so excited to share our music with the Temple Emanuel community,” said Cantor Caitlin McLaughlin. “Havdalah is a beautiful opportunity to come together, celebrate the transition from Shabbat into a new week, and experience the joy and connection that music brings. We look forward to an evening filled with singing, friendship and celebration.”
Romano has been leading musical experiences for youth and adults for more than a decade at schools, congregations and camps throughout the United States. Most recently, he served as Musician in Residence at the Marlene Myerson JCC in Manhattan and is currently a Cantorial Intern at Brooklyn Heights Synagogue in Brooklyn, New York.
A recording artist and songwriter, Romano has released three albums of original music and is pursuing cantorial studies at the Academy of Jewish Religion. His distinctive musical style blends sacred Jewish traditions with contemporary songwriting, playful rap and engaging audience participation.
The Havdalah and Musical Program will take place Saturday, November 14, at 6:30 p.m. at Temple Emanuel in Andover, Massachusetts. Admission is free for Temple Emanuel members.
