Dance/USA, the annual convergence of many of dance’s greatest minds, settled smack in the middle of the country last weekend, and it’s safe to say that Minneapolis is overflowing with dance. In a dance-positive state that is thriving on corporate sponsorships and seemingly ample funding, there was perhaps no better place for this year’s Dance/USA conference.

Jun 25, 2014 | By Lynn Colburn Shapiro

There’s lots to dance about this summer in Chicago. Whether you’re a first time fox-trotter or a seasoned funkster, you can kick up your heels, get down, swing to the beat, or sit back and watch the pro’s show you how it’s done, and it’s all outdoors, free, and open to the public, courtesy of The Chicago Park District and a few other enterprising dance innovators. 

Silk & Steel

Aerial Dance Chicago and Elements Contemporary Ballet share the stage in Silk and Steel, a concert that takes the unique aesthetic of contemporary ballet into the vertical realm.

Featuring “Surge”, a world premiere collaboration between Elements and ADC that maximizes the artistic resources of both companies with multiple hanging silks, aerial dancers in rope-and-harness, and earth-bound ballerinas performing contemporary choreography beneath awe-inspiring aerial dance.

Breath, Body, and Voice

BREATH, BODY, VOICE with Fides Krucker

Exploring the physical & practical embodiment of the voice

Using simple partnered and solo exercises, sighs, yawns and long tones this workshop guides you to discover different shades, colors, and boundaries of vocal expression!

Our voices come from our bodies. They are an extension of how we feel and they tell a true story. When we sing songs we use feeling and form to express and communicate our state of being.
