Today marks the beginning of Twin Cities Celebrates National Dance Week. Get ready to enjoy the diversity of all the dance events happening around town. Among the many events, the Walker will host three evocative, international, New York-based choreographers in a shared evening called New World Dance: New York, April 30-May 2 at 8pm. There is also a free dance sampler with the three choreographers (Nami Yamamoto/Japan, Nora Chipaumire/Zimbabwe, and luciana achugar/Uruguay) for families at 12:30pm on Saturday, May 2.
Be a part of our local dance history! Everyone in our dance community is invited to join in this commemorative photo and represent the local dance community next Thursday April 30th at 6pm in front of the Spoonbridge and Cherry at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
