Dusk Dances


Each year Dusk Dances produces a series of outdoor dance events in public parks. The show features an array of choreographic works presented nightly at sunset. Choreographers from various backgrounds are programmed to perform ten-minute pieces inspired by the parks natural environment. As dusk descends, a theatrical host leads the audience to five dances that unfold in different areas of the park. We need your help to make sure every evening runs smoothly!
