Join us for an in-person live performance of dance! The MoCo Showcase is an annual event traditionally held in the fall. It serves as an informal way to showcase works in progress, ideas, full works, or anything else you'd like to present. Due to COVID-19, this informal dance showcase is taking place in the spring this year, and is serving as an end of the year celebration of live dance (something we have not had much of, if any at all, lately). Anyone is able to perform in the showcase with any style of dance.
