The Legacy Echoes: Generations in Step — the 5th Presenting Denver Dance Festival, in partnership with the Newman Center for the Performing Arts

let the echoes of legacy move you

The Fifth Presenting Denver Dance Festival, hosted in partnership with the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts, is a weekend of performances to connect with Colorado’s dance community.
This milestone anniversary year is our best yet, celebrating the lasting impact of artistic legacy — how it continues to shape, inspire, and teach both our performers and leadership across Colorado.
We are beyond thrilled to feature a once-in-a-lifetime solo performance by the legendary Cleo Parker Robinson, with choreography by Christopher Page Sanders. The festival also includes performances by seven diverse, local dance companies, including the debut of the new Presenting Denver Dance Ensemble. In the days leading up to the festival, join us for two exclusive master workshops designed to engage and connect dancers of all levels.We remain committed to uplifting mid-to-small level dance companies, giving them a platform to shine and demonstrate their vital role in Colorado’s vibrant dance scene.
