Dear
Friends of Dance,
After a whirlwind of dance activity this Spring, the dog days of Summer have hit, as dancers and dance companies rest and gear up for the Fall Season.
However, there is still some great performances to be seen in July from BalletX's Summer Series to Leah Stein's site specific work, the monthly Studio Series and a special presentation by Kulu Mele.
And if you wish to kick back a bit, be sure to catch one of the many short films presented by Dance Cinema Projects.
Of course July also marks the return of Rennie Harris Puremovement's Illadlphia Festival celebrating and keeping alive the work of hip hop pioneers. Lots of workshops and performances that draws in the hip hop community locally, nationally and even internationally!
Wishing everyone a great 4th of July holiday and start of Summer!
Steve
