Denver North Star
"Experience World-Class Dance in North Denver. You don’t have to leave the neighborhood to see some of the best modern dance in the country. On stage, bodies undulated and flowed seamlessly across the space, telling stories of immigration and resistance. Was this an elevated dance performance experiences? Yes. Did audiences have to travel to downtown Denver—or to New York City—to view it? No. This world-class performance was on display right here in North Denver.
