THANK YOU, ST. LOUIS. ❤️
What a weekend! SPRING TO DANCE® Festival 2026 filled the Touhill for two nights of nonstop dance performances, presentations and conversations. From powerhouse companies to emerging ones, from street dance beside classical ballet, from longtime subscribers seated next to first-time attendees, from the lively pre-show by local troupes and schools to crowds lingering in the lobby long after the performances ended, it was a remarkable weekend!
Thank you to this year's participating companies and artists who traveled from New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Kansas City and beyond to perform on stage in the A-B Performance Hall. Thank you to the local dancers, companies and schools who performed in the Terrace Lobby to help set the excitement for each evening.
As always, thank you to our patrons, subscribers and festivalgoers, including those who have attended for years and years to those who joined us for the very first time.
Many thanks to the hard working staff, crew and team at the Touhill Performing Arts Center, who helped keep the festival running from “Speaking of Dance” Q&A and the lobby performances all the way through each night's mainstage performances to the surprise finale by Parsons Dance in the A-B Performance Hall.
None of this would be possible without our presenting sponsor, Whitaker Foundation, and the many festival and season sponsors who continue to support Dance St. Louis Artistic Director Michael Uthoff's vision for nearly two decades. We have such deep appreciation and thanks for the role our sponsors play. Thank you.
Our 60th anniversary season was extraordinary, and SPRING TO DANCE 2026 was the perfect way to close it.
We are excited to announce our 61st anniversary season and begin taking orders for new subscriptions and renewals this summer.
Once again, thank you, , for your love of dance and your support of our mission and the work we do each season. ❤️
