BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND 🎉
You all loved last season’s anniversary series “Putting Out the Welcome Mat” so much, we’re bringing it back for another round!

Find us in more unconventional locations this season, expanding into Fulton, Montgomery, Schoharie and Washington counties!

If you’re unfamiliar with our series “Putting Out the Welcome Mat”, it’s an up-close and personal experience with dance. Performing on a large mat of interlocking squares around which the audience gathers, the dancers perform works from the company’s repertoire along with new ones specifically created for this series. There’s no admission charge, no lighting, no frills…but lots of movement invention, excitement and fun for all ages!

September 2026 - June 2027

Visit our “Putting Out the Welcome Mat, Again!” page linked in our bio to view upcoming performance dates & locations.

As always, thank you to our sponsors for making this series possible a second time ❤️
