What happens when love gets a little… complicated? 💘

In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, four lovers, a troupe of actors, and a world of mischievous fairies collide in a magical forest where nothing goes as planned.

With a sprinkle of fairy dust and a dash of chaos (thanks, Puck 😏), this ballet is full of humor, heart, and stunning visuals.

This was such a wonderful weekend of performances. We are looking forward to seeing everyone next year for “Art in Motion-A Celebration of Dance”.

Art in Motion was a beautiful reminder of the talent and dedication within Tennessee’s dance community. Dancers from the Southern Appalachian Dance Collective, Johnson City Arts Center, East Tennessee Ballet Academy, and other regional organizations came together to perform an incredible evening of classical ballet, modern works, and original choreography.
These dancers put in countless hours of training, rehearsal, and passion to bring their artistry to the stage, and we are incredibly proud of each of them.


Thank you to the performers, instructors, organizations, and supporters who made this celebration of dance possible. Events like this show just how strong and inspiring our dance community truly is!
