The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Dance invites you to join us as our guest for the December 4th Relaxed Performance of the 2022 Princeton Dance Festival at the Roger S. Berlind Theatre at McCarter Theatre Center. The show is 2:00 p.m. We are pleased to offer up to six free tickets to you and your guests (details below).

We have an exciting and diverse program of dance planned! New and repertory works by nationally and internationally renowned choreographers Ronald K. Brown, Davalois Fearon, Sun Kim, Michael J. Love, Director of the Program in Dance Susan Marshall, Rashaun Mitchell & Silas Riener, and Caili Quan will include tap, ballet, dance theater, West African/modern, and post-modern genres. More than 50 Princeton students will perform. The dance works to be presented at the Princeton Dance Festival are suitable for all ages.

As you may know, Relaxed Performances (also called sensory-friendly performances) ease typical theater requirements and welcome audience members to be comfortable and to move or vocalize freely, without judgment or inhibition.

We hope you can join us!
