Traverse City Dance Project

With the help of a recent Arts & Culture grant, the Traverse City Dance Project brought a free, professional dance performance to Charlevoix's East Park last summer as part of their mission to produce and present professional dance in Northern Michigan. The location of the show made it incredibly accessible to everyone. A post-show survey showed that most people learned something new and said they would attend a future performance like this. About half of the crowd said they were experiencing live dance for the first time. We agree with one survey comment that said how "important arts are in small towns," and we're pleased to have been able to support this performance with a recent Arts & Culture grant. We're already looking forward to the return of this show, this summer on July 31st!
