Hello Davis Dance Family, Friends, and Newcomers! Coming off the success of our 16th season we’re excited to begin the journey for Season Seventeen - Transcendence as Denver’s Premiere Contemporary Jazz Company

Davis Dance provides access and opportunity for artists in Denver to rise to their full potential either in our professional company, Davis Dance Next Generation, or being a part of our Share the Stage performance collaborations. Doing what we have a great passion for alongside other great artists is the key to our success. We have a robust season and you don’t want to miss one second of it. 

Our opening season concert series “Transcendence” will open at our home, the Elaine Wolf Theatre. It will feature two of my works and Davis Dance fan favorites “Serenity” and, a new commission by Robert Sher-Machherndl, Artistic Director of Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet, and another new commission and company premiere of “Scatter Thoughts” from emerging choreographer and former Davis Dance Artist Diego Gonzales. Our Share the Stage guest performers will be Avid Dance lead by Artistic Director Emily speed.. We are excited to present this company for the first time in our concerts. The company will be hitting the road embarking on a mini tour to Casper Wyoming presented by ARTCORE. During two school shows, masterclasses, and a full evening concert. 

The company will return to the Aurora community by performing at the Aurora Performing Arts Center in our second “Davis at the Fox” performance. It will again be a collaborative concert with Davis Dance, Davis Dance Next Generation, and Aurora Dance Arts students. Our annual “A Summer Night of Dance” in May of 2025 will be our end-of-the-season full concert performance weekend, featuring two works by me: “Tattered” in collaboration with poet Emily MacIntyre and a Davis Dance showstopper, “Continuous Momentum.” We will also showcase the Davis Dance commission of “The Kinder Gravity of Kindness,” a beautiful work by choreographer Rachel Oliver-Young, and the return of “Before Reality Sets In” by friend to Davis Dance and Co-Founder of Conflux Dance Theater, Miguel Perez. The Share the Stage guest artists for the first time will be The Thomas Dance Project, featuring works by Artistic Director and choreographer Kevin Gaël Thomas.

Our Summer will be full  with community engagements and performances. First with the Life/Art Dance Ensemble in the "Dialectic: Acceptance and Change in Mental Health” performance at The Peoples Building. We’ll return to the Mile High Dance Festival, and hit the road to Boulder to teach and perform at the Boulder Jazz Dance Workshop. 

Let’s Dance!
