DANCE PROGRAM PRESENTS “RISING EMBERS”

Rising Embers
From all corners of the state, the dancers of the Perpich Arts High School Dance Program are happy to present “Rising Embers” on May 7 & 8, 2026. The spring concert is the culmination of a semester of work emphasizing dance history, dance composition, creativity, and inspiration. While learning different movement styles, the dancers were introduced to various artists of the past. As they studied Bill T. Jones, they considered his quote to “ask himself urgent questions”. The dancers incorporated this idea of urgent question as they created solos, duets, and trios. As the students studied other legacy dance styles, these influences seeped their way into movement, structure, and inspiration. Congratulations to all involved with the show!
