AVON PERFORMANCE PAVILION AT NOTTINGHAM PARK
Dancing in the Park invites audiences of all ages to enjoy this free summer tradition celebrating world-class dance, cultural expression, and community. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or lawn chairs, and gather with friends and family at the lakeside Performance Pavilion for a relaxed and memorable evening nestled in the beauty of the Colorado mountains.
The program begins with joyful performances by the youth dancers of the Celebrate the Beat Celebration Team, followed by an exciting lineup of Festival artists, Colorado Ballet, Rennie Harris Puremovement American Street Dance Theater, and Trinity Irish Dance Company. Spanning a dynamic range of dance genres—from classical ballet and contemporary movement to hip-hop, and street dance—the evening showcases the richness and diversity of dance as a universal form of storytelling and connection. With something to inspire every audience member, Dancing in the Park offers an unforgettable
celebration of artistry under the summer sky.
