The George Mason University Patriot Center
Saturday, November 28 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, November 29 at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets are on sale now!
The World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions includes many
of the traditional movements and exercises presented at the world-renowned
Spanish Riding School of Vienna, and they are coming to the Patriot
Center on Saturday, November 28 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and
Sunday, November 29 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for all
three shows.
While maintaining a classical presentation of the
Lipizzaner, also featured is the forefather of the Lipizzaner -
the Spanish Andalusian. Other exciting departures from tradition
include a rousing number set to the big band music of the swing
era.
Many of the horses and riders who appear in this 40th
anniversary edition of "Dancing with Horses" were hand-picked
by producer Gary Lashinsky to perform in this family oriented arena
attraction. Over the years, more than twenty-five million people
throughout North and South America, the United Kingdom, Europe,
Australia and Hawaii have seen this internationally acclaimed spectacle.
The graceful dance of the Lipizzaner Stallions is
a breathtaking ballet over 400 years in the making. A highlight
of the performance is their spectacular leaps and maneuvers known
as the "Airs Above the Ground" which were born in the
fury of the battlefield. Now these stunning maneuvers are preserved
as an equestrian work of art that you can witness from the safety
of your seat!
The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed; its history
and culture is known worldwide. The Walt Disney move The Miracle
of the White Stallions, depicting General George S. Patton saving
them at the end of World War II from certain extinction, created
an even greater worldwide interest in the Lipizzaner breed. Had
it not been for Patton, there would be no Lipizzans today.
Harkening back to the time when the horse was a symbol
of grace and majesty, the World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions are
a fun and entertaining family experience. One does not need to be
a horse lover to enjoy the skill and beauty of the "Dancing
White Stallions".
