STG + MMDG = Dance, Dance, Dance!

STG & Mark Morris Dance Group have an extensive partnership that spans beyond the stage, and this week is a great example of that. MMDG artists David Leventhal, Tina Fehlandt and Joe Bowie are here doing so much in our community.

Teen dancers and live musicians are working with Joe Bowie all week to set Mark Morris' "Polka" for STG's DANCE This at The Moore July 8th & 9th.

Dance students from all over the country are studying modern ballet and Mark Morris repertory during the first ever west coast week-long MMDG Summer Intensive, taught by all three guest artists - David Leventhal, Tina Fehlandt & Joe Bowie.

David Leventhal led a training for Seattle teachers in our Dance for Parkinson's Project.

AND, each one of them have performed in THE HARD NUT, making its Seattle debut December 1-4 (on sale through subscription now!).

We're keeping Mark's hometown of Seattle alive with dance!
