HIGHLIGHTS
JULY 25-29 >> DANCE LANSING’S FINAL SHOW AT SUMMER STAGE UNDER THE STARS
Avoid watching Step Up on E! for the ninetieth time. Lansing Community College’s annual summer performing arts festival comes to a close with four nights of DANCE Lansing. Each night features original performances put together by dozens of choreographers and performed by almost 100 dancers. The event provides development opportunities for choreographers and dancers in the area, with a hope of building a diverse dancer community. The dances are collaborations between Happendance and LCC Dance with multiple associate organizations intertwined, made up by Everett High School Dance Program, Fusion Dance Center, Greater Lansing Academy of Dance, MICA Gallery, Michigan State University Department of Theatre, and MSU Orchesis. The partners celebrate 12 years this summer, and DANCE Lansing hopes the audience will leave with an appreciation for modern and contemporary dance styles. The event takes place at LCC’s Dart auditorium with free parking available in the Gannon Ramp, Grand Avenue and on the streets of LCC’s campus. 7-9 p.m. FREE. LCC Dart Auditorium, 500 N.
