The second stop of Traverse City Dance Project’s 2025 summer season tour of FREE performances across Northern Michigan! The program boasts an impressive lineup of professional dancers from around the country and showcases new dance works by Resident Choreographer Jennifer McQuiston Lott and recent Juilliard graduate Julia Ciesielska, in collaboration with live cellist Kyle Stachnik. The second half of the program will spotlight choreography by Artistic Director Brent Whitney, set to the iconic music of Queen. Before the main event, guests can enjoy pre-show tunes by DJ Eric P, setting the perfect mood for the evening ahead. Following the performance, attendees are invited to participate in a Q&A session with the dancers, musicians, choreographers, and crew, offering insight into the creative process and behind-the-scenes experiences.

In addition to the performance, there will also be a FREE kids' dance class for all levels and abilities at 6:30 PM on the park lawn, taught by one of the TCDP dancers.
