Sunday October 5, 2025
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

The first offering of the 2025-26 season of Dorothea's House programs will feature Rome native Andrea Marini, who dances with the American Repertory Ballet Company. Marini will give an overview of how dance has accompanied human beings—even before the emergence of language. In Italy, traditional folk dances still reflect the fusion between ancient Italic cultures and the influences of the various populations they came into contact with over time. He will explore some of the most iconic Italian folk dances—from the Tarantella to the Furlana—leading up to the refined art of ballet and the prestigious Italian opera and symphonic foundations. The event is free.

Dorothea's House is located at 120 John Street in Princeton. Participants are encouraged to bring refreshments to share at a post-program reception. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. dorotheashouse.org
