Performances

Text in black reads 'Dance for / by / with Every Individual with the D, E, and I capitalized and in bright colors. Melissa van Wijk

Live performances by Born Dancing, a company of dancers of all ages with and without disabilities. Performances will feature two original works by three of our long-time student dancers choreographing for the very first time. Ava McIntosh' (age 21) work is about her experiences with feelings of isolation and finding community. Greta Baier (17) and Avery Roberts' (18) collaboration explores physical closeness among friends with physical disabilities. We will also show three short duets (two repertoire and one new) with live accompaniment, choreographed by Born Dancing Founder, Melissa van Wijk.

Tickets are donation-based starting at $1 and include the reception.
