Ballet NY
Dancing can provide an outstanding cardiovascular (心血管的) workout, but this week the members of Ballet NY come to Pittshurgh to dance for people whose hearts need help. The performance will benefit the Artificial Heart Program of the Heart, Lung and Esophageal Surgery Institute of UPMC. Ballet NY was founded 10 years ago by former New York City Ballet principal ballerina Judith Fugate and internationally famous dancer Medhi Bahiri, and former members of top dance companies. The performance starts at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Byham Theater, Downtown.
Admission: $35~$125.
The top price includes post-concert coffee and dessert reception with the dancers.

Mannheim Steamroller will bring a breath of “Fresh Air” to the Benedum Center, Downtown, Monday.

Admission: $40, &50 or $60.
