ContempraDance Theatre presents the third annual 2007 Youth Regional Dance Festival at Hill School Center for the Arts, Saturday, April 21 at 1:30 pm. Each year, this show gathers youth dance groups, comprised of dancers age 7 through 17 from across the region, performing a variety of dance styles. Young dancers enjoy the opportunity to showcase their talents in a non-competitive, creative atmosphere while performing in a professional arena. The festival is part of ContempraDance Theatre’s ongoing effort to bring dance into the spotlight in schools, communities and regional events for youth. Proceeds will help benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

ContempraDance Theatre premieres a new dance work, “TimeDance” for the Youth Regional Dance Festival. Choreography is by Gail Vartanian and Michelle Jones Wurtz. This new work depicts the history of dance and music throughout time and the impact each have had on society in different eras.

Immediately following ContempraDance Theatre’s performance are the Youth Regional Dance Performers showcasing their talents.
