A dancer is simply “one who dance,” but a Dare to Dancer is that plus community, experimentation, and the dedication needed to put together a stellar performance. The ninth installment of this annual production, Dare to Dance 9: Wonderland, brings back many familiar performers along with some new faces. This kaleidoscopic collection showcases a range of vibrant and diverse voices and dance styles from around the globe. From Persia to Korea to 50’s Americana, take a trip with dancers and choreographers who could be your neighbor, barista, or co-worker. Appropriate for all ages.
