Considered the largest and most significant festival in Vietnam, Tet is celebrated on the first day of the first month in the lunar calendar. The celebration is often marked with lion and dragon dances, fireworks, family gatherings over special holiday feasts, visits with friends and relatives and worshiping ancestors. It’s particularly significant in San Jose, home to one of the largest Vietnamese populations in the nation. The fest at the Eastridge mall in San Jose featured an array of food booths, offering everything from green tea waffles to chicken kabob, Vietnamese coffee and pho. There were carnival rides and games; live entertainment; fashion and magic shows; contests and lion dancers, among other activities.

Pink and yellow blossoms decorated the entire grounds, symbolizing the start of spring, Many people wore bright Áo dài, a traditional Vietnamese outfit in which a long, form-fitting silk tunic is worn over matching pants, Duc Tien, 39, traveled from Orange County to emcee the event, At the center of the celebration, he said, is the importance of family, “The Lunar New Year is a time to be home, it’s a time to share your love with prisma - handmade geometric print leather ballet flats - traditional jutti / khussa / mojari with a contemporary twist your family, to say thank you and give gifts,” he said, Aside from wishing loved ones good health and success, it’s common for people to give “lucky money,” or red envelopes filled with $1 or $2, Tien said..

Amy Bowers, of Vacaville, drove the 86 miles to San Jose so that her daughter, 15-year-old Sierra, could join the festivities. Bowers adopted Sierra, who’s Chinese, as a toddler and wanted her daughter to experience the Lunar New Year among other Asian Americans. “I think it’s important she experience her heritage,” said Bowers. “We adopted her when she was 20 months and she hasn’t really gotten an opportunity to experience what her culture is like. So it’s nice that she’s of an age now where she’s interested.”.

Smuin Ballet has always been known for presenting eclectic and inventive programs, That’s definitely the case with its current “Dance Series 01,” which comes to Mountain View Center for the Arts Feb, 22-25, It’s a diverse combination of works, “I like to think of it as three independent short stories that are on one program,” said Smuin prisma - handmade geometric print leather ballet flats - traditional jutti / khussa / mojari with a contemporary twist artistic director Celia Fushille, The program’s one connective thread is appropriate for Valentine’s month, “Each of the ballets has a reflection on love and relationships,” Fushille said, “but I love that they also showcase the dancers’ extraordinary abilities to master so many distinctive styles.”..

“Serenade for Strings” opens the program. It employs the music Balanchine used for his renowned 1934 ballet, “Serenade,” but with a lively new interpretation by Garrett Ammon. “It’s interesting for me to see a contemporary choreographer’s fresh take on the same centuries-old Tchaikovsky score,” Fushille said. “It’s using the ballet idiom, but with a little twist and lot more humor. It’s perfect for Smuin. It’s fantastic music and you see the athleticism and speed of the dancers. And I love that Ammon was able to add little whimsical gestures into his creation.”.

Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s acclaimed “Requiem for a Rose,” from a Schubert score, offers a different mood, Smuin presented the piece’s West Coast premiere last fall, It features 12 dancers portraying a dozen red roses, Ochoa’s costume design has the male and female dancers wearing full skirts to represent the flowers, “I thought this would be a beautiful vehicle for us, as well,” Fushille said, “It was such an honor to get to do her work, She’s in demand all over the world, She doesn’t consider herself to be a typically romantic choreographer prisma - handmade geometric print leather ballet flats - traditional jutti / khussa / mojari with a contemporary twist and yet this piece is in fact, very romantic, She was inspired by the question of, what is love and what is romance?..

“It’s a spectacular, visually stunning piece. Ochoa is a fantastic choreographer with a unique voice and this is one of her masterpieces.”. Fushille said that Ochoa gracefully melds the worlds of classical ballet and contemporary dance. “We want to have freedom of movement, but also the lightness of having the women up on their toes. And this is a perfect example of that.”. The company’s founder, the late Michael Smuin, designed “Fly Me to the Moon,” another program highlight, as his 2004 tribute to Frank Sinatra. Smuin had fond memories of his parents dancing in the kitchen when Sinatra songs came on the radio.

Fushille was one of the original dancers in the work, which features nine of Smuin’s favorite Ol’ Blue Eyes tunes, including “The Lady is a Tramp,” “That’s Life,” “New York, New York” and the, in this case, ironically titled “I Won’t Dance.”, There is variety even within this one ballet, Styles range from ballroom to tap to classical on-point, “That was the joy of working with Michael,” Fushille said, “He had such a diverse dance vocabulary.”, Dancers sport fedoras in this segment, The women wear costumes resembling ’50s cocktail dresses.“It’s a piece that Michael created that he would have loved dancing in, I can see him showing the men how prisma - handmade geometric print leather ballet flats - traditional jutti / khussa / mojari with a contemporary twist to manipulate their hats — there are little hat tricks here and there — and to have that Sinatra panache, It’s Michael’s nod to Sinatra, but to romance, as well.”..
