Heinz Poll Summer Dance Festival
Ohio Ballet is gone but dancing under Akron dance tradition goes on.
Thursday, July 17, 2008
Tomorrow (Friday) night is the start of this year's Heinz Poll Summer Dance Festival in Akron. For thirty-three years, Akronites have enjoyed free outdoor ballet performances from Heinz Poll and his Ohio Ballet. Two years ago Poll died and the company he started went out of business. But dancing under the stars has continued in Akron.
