Houston Dance Festival: Here and Now

Comments (0) By JULIA RAMEY SERAZIO Thursday, Aug 25 2011

This town is firmly on the map as a modern-dance Mecca — thanks in no small part to the highly collaborative, supportive relationships among local companies, which are constantly uniting for performances, classes and celebrations of their art. Case in point is the inaugural Houston Dance Festival: Here and Now. The highlight of the festival, which also includes a month of master classes for dancers, is a series of three performances from standout local groups.

Houston Ballet dancers Melody Mennite, Connor Walsh and Kelly Myernick are among the guest stars.

The coming weeks feature performances from Infinite Movement Ever Evolving and NobleMotion Dance. See Lemonade Stand at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Additional programs through September 3.
