Salt Lake City, UT -- Repertory Dance Theatre presents Ring Around the Rose, a 'wiggle-friendly' series of performances for children and families. This unique series explores the magical world of the arts, including dance, theatre, music and storytelling by presenting professional artists in a fun and approachable format.
Each show begins at 11:00 am at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center and runs for one hour. Audiences are invited to participate in different ways in each show so children have an opportunity to experience the arts first-hand while in a professional stage setting.
We have a fabulous season coming up with some brand new artists and a few old favorites. African Drums returns as a season favorite on September 8 while we introduce the talents of Utah teens from SpyHop on February 9. With everything from dance to theatre to film, there are plenty of opportunities to get your feet stomping and mind buzzing!
