The next edition of Kentucky Life spotlights the dancers of the Bluegrass Youth Ballet and the pampered patients at the Bluegrass Animal Rehabilitation and Hyperbaric Center (BARHC). The program, hosted by Dave Shuffett, airs Saturday, May 24 at 8/7 p.m. CT on KET1; Sunday, May 25 at 4:30/3:30 p.m. CT on KET1; and Sunday, May 25 at 7/6 p.m. CT on KET2.
First, Kentucky Life visits Fayette County’s Bluegrass Youth Ballet. Viewers meet the creator of the organization, Adalhi Aranda Corn, who brings her creativity and artistry to the community through her students’ performances, participation in community festivals and fairs, educational workshops and performances for schools. The Youth Ballet’s performances are a collaborative effort between faculty, parents, students, local artists and arts organizations.
In Woodford County, the BARHC is setting new standards in animal care. While equine physical therapy is an established practice in Kentucky, the practice is new for companion animals. BARHC provides manual therapies, therapeutic ultrasound, lasers and hyperbaric oxygen therapy –– which delivers pure oxygen to the patient –– to improve the quality of life for pets. The organization’s state-of-the-art facility also includes an indoor swimming pool and underwater treadmill for strengthening and exercise.
Kentucky Life is a KET production, produced by Joy Flynn. Segment producers are Valerie Trimble and Brandon Wickey. Some Kentucky Life programs are available for on-demand videostream viewing at www.ket.org/kentuckylife.
