SUMMARY:Biomes
DESCRIPTION:Analog Dance Works presents Biomes\, a contemporary dance production that journeys through tundras\, greenhouses\, fresh waters\, and the vast lands of suburbia to viscerally question our relationships to our natural world. \nThis show is a practice of curiosity\, questioning boundaries\, listening\, and forgiving. It comes from a place of deep emotional currents running below the surface that grapple with how and why we utilize our natural resources recreationally\, economically\, and spiritually. We are searching for pastures where we don’t just coexist with nature\, but merge with our beautifully complex environmental surroundings in unconditionally profound mutualism. \nBiomes brings forth the perspectives of four of its artists: Brenna Mosser\, Sophia Pimsler\, Addie Smith\, and Ruby Smith of RJDT. Each choreographer is working with very different concepts\, but are entwined together around a central question: what is our relationship to the natural environments that we dwell amongst?

SUMMARY:Sacred Earth
DESCRIPTION:Ragamala Dance Company \nNEW DATE*: Thursday\, April 30 2026 7:30PM\nFriday\, May 1 2026 7:30PM\nLuminary Arts Center \n*Please CLICK HERE for information on the date update.  \nSacred Earth\nBy Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy\n \n\n“Ragamala\, directed by the mother-daughter team of Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy\, is an excellent company. Their devotion to the Bharatanatyam style and to treating that lineage as a living language is always radiantly clear.” — The New York Times \nRagamala Dance Company’s signature work\, Sacred Earth is a powerful\, hour-long journey of movement and music that celebrates the beauty and vitality of the natural world. Performed as a continuous arc of high-energy dance and evocative poetry\, the work unfolds like a living ritual. \nInspired by the ephemerality of the Indian art forms of kolam rice flour drawings\, Warli wall paintings\, and ancient Tamil Sangam poems\, Sacred Earth reflects Artistic Co-Directors Aparna Ramaswamy and Ranee Ramaswamy’s singular vision of the delicate\, interdependent relationship between humanity and nature. The performance becomes an invocation—reminding us that we are not separate from the earth\, but deeply woven into its breath\, rhythms\, and fragile continuance. \n60 minutes\, no intermission \n  \n\n\nThis performance is made possible in part by the Bridge Fund for Dance program through the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department\, and by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

SUMMARY:ARENA DANCES
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 17–18 at Luminary Arts Center for ARENA DANCES—four world premieres by Wynn Fricke\, Wendell Gray II\, Shane Larson\, and Assaf Salhov\, performed by ARENA DANCES’ powerhouse repertory company in our 30th anniversary season. Rooted in collaboration\, courage\, and the transformative power of dance\, this program brings together a powerhouse ensemble of dancers—Nieya Amezquita\, Alex Arce\, Non Edwards\, Sarah McCullough\, and Jake Nehrbass—for an evening of world premieres by four commissioned choreographers whose voices span generations\, geographies\, and aesthetics. \nThis repertory season marks a bold evolution for ARENA DANCES\, deepening long-term artistic relationships and investing in sustained creative process. Through this model\, dancers and choreographers work closely over time\, allowing for risk\, trust\, and a shared physical language to emerge—resulting in performances that are both rigorous and deeply human. \nMinnesota-based choreographer Wynn Fricke brings her singular\, intuitive approach to the stage. Described by the Star Tribune as a “choreographic shaman\,” Fricke is known for creating powerful\, timeless works that explore the human condition. A seven-time McKnight Fellow and founder of Borrowed Bones Dance Theatre\, her choreography has been presented nationally and internationally\, including commissions for Zenon Dance Company\, Ragamala Dance\, and Minnesota Dance Theatre\, where she served as Resident Choreographer. \nNew York City–based artist Wendell Gray II contributes an emerging and highly acclaimed choreographic voice. A dancer\, choreographer\, and educator\, Gray’s work has been presented at Danspace Project\, Movement Research at Judson Church\, and Gibney. A 2025–2028 Jerome Hill Fellow and Movement Research Artist-in-Residence\, he has been recognized for his bold experimentation and was recently nominated for a Bessie Award for Outstanding Breakout Choreographer. \nMinnesota native Shane Larson\, now based in New York City\, brings an interdisciplinary practice that bridges dance\, video\, sound\, and technology. A longtime member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company and a 2021 Bessie Award recipient\, Larson’s work investigates memory\, identity\, and physicality through richly layered performance. His recent projects include participation in Jacob’s Pillow’s inaugural Choreotech AI Lab\, placing his work at the forefront of contemporary performance and innovation. \nCompleting the program is Assaf Salhov\, a New York City–based choreographer\, dancer\, and Artistic Director of Le Ballet Fou. Known for his immersive and theatrical approach\, Salhov has created and presented over fifteen works across Israel\, Europe\, and the United States\, with performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center\, The Shed\, and international festivals. A longtime performer in Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More\, his choreography draws audiences into richly physical\, cinematic worlds shaped by collaboration across disciplines. \nTogether\, these four world premieres reflect ARENA DANCES’ vision forward—a commitment to artistic depth\, living-wage employment for dancers\, and the belief that dance thrives through sustained relationships and bold creative exchange. As we celebrate 30 years of making dance accessible to all\, this season invites audiences to witness what becomes possible when artists are given the time\, trust\, and support to imagine forward. \n  \nNotes\n\nDuration: 90 minutes with one 10 minute intermission

SUMMARY:Seasons of Tap

SUMMARY:FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
DESCRIPTION:In a rigid future where creativity is forbidden\, students at The Kube Conservatory for Optimal Development wear neural cubes that control their thoughts and confine their movements to a lifeless grid. But when a group of curious students sneaks out late at night\, they discover a mysterious portal—guarded by the mesmerizing Neptala—who dares them to imagine something more. \nEach journey through the portal transports them to electrifying eras where movement is liberation and dance is rebellion. With every step\, they awaken to the power and peril of freedom. Now\, as Neptala warns that the portal will open one final time\, the students must make a choice: return to a life of comfort and conformity\, or leap into a world that is uncertain—but alive. FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY is a bold\, imaginative dance production that explores control\, courage\, and the transformative power of movement. Don’t miss this one-night-only performance.

SUMMARY:Renewal
DESCRIPTION:Renewal invites audiences into the process of reconstructing “lost” dance works\, offering a rare\, up-close look at how choreography is preserved\, reshaped\, and passed forward. \nFeaturing an intergenerational cast of local performers\, the program highlights selections from seldom-seen dances by visionary Minnesota choreographer Loyce Houlton—including the intimate Troth (1969) and the monumental Song of the Earth (1977). This deconstructed performance reinterprets historic works in real time through a blend of live dance\, film\, and dialogue. \nLoyce Houlton (1925–1995) transformed the Twin Cities’ dance landscape\, creating opportunities for countless local artists. Beyond her enduring Nutcracker Fantasy\, she choreographed more than 100 dances.

SUMMARY:Inner Connectivity\, Outer Expressivity
DESCRIPTION:At Young Dance\, each year is guided by a central theme. Last year’s theme\, Mind:Body\, proved so expansive and meaningful that we dedicate another year to its exploration. Even as our themes evolve\, the mind-body connection will remain a foundation for theory and practice throughout our classes and organization. \nThis season\, we’re embracing “Inner Connectivity\, Outer Expressivity\,” a concept drawn from the work of Rudolf Laban and Irmgard Bartenieff. This theme invites us to examine the vital link between our inner world—thoughts and feelings—and physical expression. By cultivating this inner harmony\, we unlock greater ease and authenticity in communicating ourselves to the world. \nOur exploration will be driven by two simple but powerful questions: Why? and How? Guest choreographers Lainey Lee\, Gretchen Pick\, Judee Shuǐ Xiān\, and Laurie Van Wieren investigated these questions with the company as they developed original new works with the Young Dance Performing Company. \nThe Young Dance company is a group of passionate dancers committed to exploring themselves and their world through dance. Dancers ages 7 to 18 work with professional artists to investigate and collaborate on choreography related to the year’s theme and present their work in a high-quality\, innovative performance. \nDancers from Young Dance’s All Abilities Dancing 2\, Breaking 2\, Hip Hop 2\, Modern 4\, and Choreography classes will also present work on this program.
