Alessandra Corona presents her A Corona Works in two world premieres by Italian choreographers: "Amore Impossibile" by Kristian Cellini of Rome, and "Just Joy" by Guido Tuveri of Sardinia, May 30 & 31 at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, 55 Lexington Avenue (entrance on 25th Street). Corona, a former 12-year principal dancer with Ballet Hispanico, will present her 7-member ensemble joined by a guest actor. The choreographers were invited by Corona to create their works earlier this year, and will return to New York for the May performances.

"Just Joy" was created by Guido Tuveri who, like Alessandra, is from Sardinia. A collaboration with the Corona dancers, "Just Joy" celebrates the stages of life and aims to show how, even in times of difficulties and sorrow, dance will always bring passion and joy. Songs from Sardinia, sung in their native language, accompany the dance along with original music by American composer Thomas Lentakis.
