About Summer Series:

Summer Series is a series of weekly outdoor dance offerings at Sweet Pass Sculpture Park. Each week, a new local movement artist will share a practice of their choosing. Together we'll find space to play, heal, express, sweat, and restore. Classes are offered on a sliding scale, $5-$20. Be advised that we will be moving outside, sometimes in direct sunlight! We recommend wearing shoes you can move in and bringing sunscreen and bug spray. Special thanks to the Material Girls for allowing us to move through their installation, Desire Paths, and to Sweet Pass Sculpture Park for generously opening their gates to us <3
