The Kansas City Dance Festival brings together dance organizations from around the Midwest, highlighting the common exchange of classically trained dancers with cutting edge choreography. They also give the opportunity for their artists to provide education outreach to Kansas City schools, including master classes, lecturing and mentoring. They give the audience an opportunity to explore dance by presenting never-before-seen choreography that has not been experienced in the Kansas City arts community before. Their festival runs July 24 and 25. Learn more at their website.
