Parsons Dance (New York)

Parsons Dance Company will perform at The University of Akron’s EJ Thomas Hall in an evening of remarkable contemporary works that will include the visual illusion of audience favorite, "Caught" where the dancer performs more than 100 jumps across the stage, "Eight Women" which showcases the fun, lighthearted yet soulful movement by the Parsons Dancers as they dance to music by Aretha Franklin, the fluid movement of "Round My World" set to beautiful music by Zoe Keating, the beating excitement of "Microburst" with music by Avirodh Sharma - Tabla and the closing piece "Nascimento" that will have audience members cheering in delight by the end of the show!

This family-friendly performance will showcase the uplifting dance company’s stunning dancers and effortless movement, making everyone, young and old, fall for dance. David Parsons, who was a principal dancer in the Paul Taylor Dance Co. from 1978 to 1987, founded the company in 1987 with the determination to present dance that was simply wonderful to watch. DANCECleveland has presented the company in each decade since that time. Parsons Dance has toured on six continents and has been seen on PBS, Bravo, A&E and the Discovery Channel.

DANCECleveland last presented Parsons Dance Company in 2015.
