Dance St Louis

Still loving this gem in St. Louis! I try to make at least one performance each year… this year was Tango Buenos Aires.
Dance St. Louis really does an amazing job at curating their seasons. Usually there is something for everyone. This year boasts Dirty Dancing, the Dance Theatre of Harlem, Tango Buenos Aires, ballet from the Aspen Santa Fe company, and Stomp, just to name a few. Next year is really going to be over-​the-​top, as they are planning on hosting Momix again and also the Nashville ballet collaborating with some St. Louis groups on Carmina Burana. I’ve been to performances of both, and they are really fabulous.
I love the community feel of Dance St. Louis. They try to engage the audience; yesterday the dance company held a tango class in between their shows. It was really neat to see so many people… of all walks of life… wanting to participate! They do so much community outreach too… from dance classes to scholarships, such as the high schoolers they recognized yesterday.
Prices are so reasonable, especially when all the seats are pretty good at the Touhill. They are still continuing on their yearly Spring to Dance Festival over Memorial Day weekend, which shows a conglomerate of dance companies all over the country… and tickets still cost between $ 10 to $ 20. How could you not love St. Louis for all of its dedication to art?!
