In June of 2002 The Lasansky Dance Theater Ensemble had its premiere performance in midcoast Maine, at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland Maine for the opening reception of James Wyeth’s show, Capturing Nureyev.  

Performances consist of dance works choreographed and directed by Jimena Lasansky and performed throughout the year by dancers from the Lasansky School of Dance.

The choreography, drawing from modern, ballet and theatrical techniques, includes a range from solos to septets and is set to a wide selection of musical compositions.
