Description
Founded in 1956, from a church basement to the glittering lights of the renovated theatres of PlayhouseSquare, few organizations have a history as rich as DANCECleveland.
Today, as one of only a handful of stand-alone-dance-only presenters in the United States, DANCECleveland continues to curate a dance series that brings world-renowned dance companies to northeast Ohio for performances, master classes, educational residencies and lectures. Programs have included such greats as The Paul Taylor Dance Company, Murray Louis & Nikolais Dance, Pilobolus, Elizabeth Streb Ringside, The Martha Graham Dance Company, Urban Bush Women, Doug Elkins, Sean Curran, Rennie Harris Puremovement and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, among a host of other dance luminaries.
