Look who’s ON Stage: Opening Nights at Florida State University Presents Sinatra with Matt Dusk and Hiplet Ballerinas
Sinatra with Matt Dusk
Matt Dusk is one of Canada’s most beloved male vocalists, forging a career in music that has resulted in twelve critically-acclaimed studio albums and sold over one million albums worldwide. Dusk’s cool, classy show transports you to the 60s where Dusk pays homage to Sinatra with new arrangements of “Come Fly with Me,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me To The Moon,” “One For My Baby,” and more. Sinatra and Jazz lovers alike will revel in this journey to one of music’s most elegant eras.

Hiplet
Hiplet fuses classical pointe technique with African, Latin, hip-hop and urban dance styles that are rooted in communities of color. By mixing ballet with current popular songs familiar to audiences who don’t normally attend ballet, Hiplet is making ballet accessible to all. Performances may incorporate the rhythms of African drums with Tchaikovsky, arabesques and beat-boxing or even tango en pointe — all while showcasing Hiplet’s trademark sass, hip movements, and struts to popular music such as Black Violin or Beyoncé. After features on Good Morning America, Buzzfeed and The Huffington Post, this new art form has gone viral.
