April Photo Recap

April provided a little bit of everything, making it a busy and exciting performance month! Seattle stages were host to everything from the pinnacle of classical dance to intergalactic contemporary ballet, from intimate duets to intrepid solos, and work that told stories, Instagrammed, and bunny-hopped. Click the photos to read SeattleDances' coverage.

Blast from the Past!

Last April saw SeattleDances' first guest editorial by dance artists Shannon Stewart and Mary Margaret Moore. They detailed their experiences of working with acclaimed choreographer Deborah Hay as part of her Solo Performance Commissioning Project. The two performed their solos in a shared evening at Washington Hall.
