10:00am - 4:00pm
After a two-year break, we are excited to invite you back to the Mark Morris Dance Center to make BOLD Connections at our 2022 Open House! This all-day event provides a free sampling of a wide array of programming, including dance and music classes for children, teens, and families.
In addition to free classes, Open House will offer a performance featuring the Mark Morris Dance Group, Arts Immersion, Student Company, and CocoMotion. You will also have the opportunity to meet and mingle with faculty and staff, register for children and teen classes, tour the Dance Center, and enjoy refreshments at our Beer Garden. We will be hosting a ceremony to unveil the renaming of one of our studios in dedication to Mark Morris’s mother, Maxine Morris.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles and use the Dance Center’s water fountains. To promote environmental sustainability, disposable plastic bottles of water will not be provided but will be available for purchase from our vending machines. Please see our Visit the Dance Center page for information on COVID-19 policies, accessibility, and more. We welcome you to reach out directly to the Dance Center for any additional accessibility needs or questions to ensure you can fully participate in our programming.
Pre-registration is encouraged. See the full schedule below.
