DANCE Lansing Community Dance Project is designed to create and nurture a community of dance artists and increase accessibility of contemporary dance education and performance in Mid-Michigan. Each year during the months of May-August, professional and emerging choreographers and dancers create original dance performances performed at community venues. Emerging artists are mentored by seasoned artists and attend workshops including choreography, dance technique, and technical design, as well as participate in dance residencies. All rehearsals and workshops take place at Happendance, and performances take place all over Ingham County.
