Location: Touhill Performing Arts Center
YOUR PASSPORT TO DANCE FROM ACROSS AMERICA. What began 20 years ago as an ambitious idea has grown into one of the country's most admired dance festivals.
For two nights during Memorial Day Weekend, companies from across the country gather in St. Louis for SPRING TO DANCE® Festival, presented by Whitaker Foundation, bringing breathtaking artistry, different styles, different traditions and different ways of telling stories through movement.
Some artists arrive with international acclaim, others as popular emerging companies, but together they create the kind of performing arts experience that keeps audiences returning year after year, never quite knowing what work or style will move them and loving that fact.
