The NC Dance Festival is an annual showcase of North Carolina dance artists that travels to five communities. Unique in the country and now a North Carolina institution, the event began in 1991 as a weekend of concerts in the UNC/Greensboro Dance Theater showcasing dance artists from across the state. The 2009-10 Festival will stop in Boone, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington, and Charlotte. Eight different companies will tour, performing alongside artists local to the host communities, making the actual concerts a mix of local and statewide artists.
The Charlotte performances will take place at Robinson Hall on the campus of UNC-Charlotte and will include the following artists: 1/29- Kim Jones, Eleanor Smith, Even Exchange Dance Theater, Cyrus Art Production
1/30- Kinetic Works Dance, Natalie Marrone, Signature Dance, Joan Nicholas-Walker and Courtney Greer.
