Discover the Power and Passion of Dance!
While our stage at the Overture Center will likely remain dark until next fall, we are carefully planning for our return to the stage– developing exciting, thought-provoking and uplifting dance in partnership with local, regional, and nationally recognized choreographers and dancers. Expect several performances this summer at outdoor venues for a sneak peek of the dance treats that lie ahead when we all gather at the Overture Center once again.
