This Saturday, before a sand dune and beneath the evening sky, dancers performing at the fourth annual Ballet on the Beach Festival on Assateague Island will take their bows just before sunset. This 5 p.m. curtain—midway between a matinee and an evening show—is mandated by stage lighting.

That lighting? The sun, just three days shy of the autumnal equinox. Overhead lights and light trees are out of the question on an island whose only permanent residents are a herd of wild ponies.

Vanessa Salgado, founder and director of Ballet on the Beach, has the show’s timing down to a science. Curtain—proverbially speaking—at five, wrap by 6:30 p.m. That will give the audience of 700+ just enough daylight to get back to their cars. The moon will rise. The tide will recede. And the stage that was assembled at 10 a.m. will be dismantled and driven back to Annapolis.

After hosting a night at the ballet, Assateague State Park will be left as it was found. That’s of utmost importance to Salgado, who long dreamed of bringing ballet to her favorite seashore.
