At once intense and focused on precision, yet aesthetically beautiful, the Herrmanns' Lipizzans present a widely varied program. Classical dressage on lone lines (the first steip in dressage training after the old European tradition) and an exquisite Pas de Trois (wherein 3 stallions are presented in a drill of balletic grace and precision) combined with the dramatic and difficult Airs Above the Ground to form the basis of the first half of the Lipizzans' presentation.

We'll meet and enjoy lunch in Berryville before the show (which is at 2 PM).  RSVP to Linda ASAP.

Directions:  Take I-66 West into Virginia.  Take exit 67, and right onto Rt 267 (Dulles Toll Road).  Keep on toll road through the Dulles Greenway toward Leesburg, Virginia.  At Exit 1A, bear left onto Rt 7 West.
