DANCE WITH US

KEIGWIN + COMPANY returns to Vail Dance Festival with an electrifying dance party where Vail Valley residents take center stage.

Known for our electrifying work and dynamic community dances, KEIGWIN + COMPANY will enliven Vail Dance Festival's Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater with a brand-new version of Rhapsody, developed by and in community, featuring dancers and non-dancers, young and old alike.

No previous dance experience required -- just enthusiasm and energy. Find new ways of moving, dance alongside your neighbors, have the opportunity to perform alongside stars of Vail Dance Festival, and have fun! Rhapsody will harness the unique spirit and talents of its cast of performers to create a moving outdoor celebration of art-making, humanity, and shared space in a world premiere performance on Sunday, July 27th in Vail Dance Festival's UpClose: Song & Dance.

“Keigwin has made a dance about a community add up to more than a community dance."

— Gia Kourlas, The New York Times

Our community projects feature YOU.

We need movers and those who love to move to help us create our works that celebrate shared space and connection.

So, whether you're a dancer or you simply dance in the privacy of your living room, ALL are welcome. Grab your family, friends, and neighbors, learn new ways of moving, and join us! You'll be a part of a fun, playful creative process with Artistic Director Larry Keigwin, co-choreographer Nicole Wolcott, and K+C dancers. 

The Joy of Dancing With

KEIGWIN + COMPANY

  • Just in case I don't get the opportunity after the show tonight to express to each and every member of the Keigwin + Company how utterly impressed and moved I am not only by your individual and collective talents as performers, but the degree to which each of you has shared your creative energies and spirits with us "common folk." You made each one of us grow beyond our individual fears and egos to this wonderful place of synergistic participation. To hear the words of praise and feel the genuine excitement expressed by my family and friends about the Keigwin + Company experience one might think we had performed on Broadway...heck, for some of us, we did!

    David McDermott, Bolero Santa Barbara

  • Some 80 people spent more than 50 hours of rehearsing, sharing and creating something unique. In the process new audiences where made aware of the Performing Arts Center. Some came back after 20 years for the first time again! The children in our group had an experience that went far beyond the learning of listening to an adult giving directions. They learned cooperation, depending on one another and how to support each other so that the “whole” benefits and becomes a reality. And the adults made friends.

    Rudiger Guhl, Bolero Suburbia

  • I want to thank you for bringing the "Bolero Project" to the Two River Theater and giving the Red Bank area residents the opportunity to be a part of this legacy. It has been a privilege watching you create the ballet. Your willingness to accept the ideas of the group with patience and a sense of humor is a lesson we should all apply to our lives. Personally, the project has given me the opportunity to have a shared experience with my children, Amanda and Matthew. The memories from this event will now become part of our families' legacy.

    Joanna Lidden, Bolero Red Bank

  • Thank you for bringing such a dynamic, creative endeavor to the area. And for taking the time to inspire others.

    Denise Roberts, Bolero Red Bank

  • I had lost the feeling of belonging and participating with a group of likeminded seniors. All of the production group brought out the joy of playfulness and creativity that had gotten lost in everyday life.

    Nelda Hull, Bolero Seniors

  • It was an overwhelmingly joyful experience…It benefitted me personally on an emotional level to get this expressive opportunity, my network who joined for the performances, and the many bystanders I interacted with during rehearsals and performances who expressed how much they appreciated this outburst of art and joy.
