We are excited to bring new performances and old favorites alike to light up the stage this summer. A hot spot of the festival includes the worldwide debut of New York City Ballet Moves, and other highlights include the Mark Morris Dance Group, Trey McIntyre Project, a world premiere by Christopher Wheeldon, and the 2011 artist-in-residence, Charles "Lil' Buck" Riley (Memphis jookin', anyone?)
