community event

University and city unite

to celebrate day of dance

Dance Across Lawrence, a community-wide celebration of dance, will feature free dance classes, workshops and performances March 31.

The event is being sponsored by the Lied Center and the city of Lawrence in collaboration with the Lawrence Arts Center and the department of music and dance. All activities are open to students and Lawrence citizens and will take place throughout the community and campus.

The day of dance will end with a performance by the Armitage Gone! Dance company at the Lied Center. The company is led by director, choreographer and Lawrence native Karole Armitage.

The day-ending performance is not free, but tickets are half off for students and anyone who has participated in the day’s events.

Registration for classes and workshops is encouraged by March 28. An events schedule and registration form is available at www.lied.ku.edu/dal.
