Perhaps one of the most beautiful sights in the world is a ballet dancer pirouetting on water. It doesn't happen everyday. But in honor of the Soluna festival sashaying into our lives this week, we present the graceful ladies of Avant Chamber Ballet, along with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's cellist, Jennifer Humphreys, in a busking video from our friends at Globe Trek Productions.

The three-week long international festival began last night, and the intrepid dancers from Avant Chamber Ballet take the stage at Dallas City Performance Hall at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday (tonight!) with works by George Balanchine, Christopher Wheeldon, Paul Mejia, among others. Last time we checked there were still tickets available for $25; $15 for students.
