COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS...

September spells beginnings for many of us. This year, September marks the beginning of our groundbreaking DANCEworks 2016 season–our eighth year in partnership with the Lobero Theatre.

This year's choreographer-in-residence, Shannon Gillen, will be creating a dynamic new work of dance theater with her company, VIM VIGOR DANCE.

Join us, won't you?
