DANCECleveland proudly announces our 2025-26 Performance Series, celebrating 69 years of modern and contemporary dance!

The season includes four incredible dance performances that will inspire you with their creativity and talent. With modern dance pioneers alongside new choreographic voices, the season features Northeast Ohio audience favorites and fresh new artists making their Ohio debuts—and all promise to showcase the breath and power of contemporary dance in America.

The season begins with Community Dance Day at Playhouse Square on July 26. Join us for free movement classes for all ages and abilities in a variety of styles. Then, as a subscriber, we welcome you to join us for a summer road trip to the beautiful Chautauqua Institute in New York to see the Houston Ballet with the Chautauqua Symphony.

The subscription series at Playhouse Square kicks off October 11 with MOMIX and their innovative adaptation of Alice and continues November 15 with our very dear Cleveland native and world-renowned choreographer Dianne McIntyre’s In The Same Tongue. We will ring in the new year January 31 with a 100th anniversary celebration of the great Martha Graham Dance Company and close the season April 25 with the Ohio premiere of YY Dance Company, a unique, high-energy fusion of contemporary dance and traditional Chinese movement.

We recognize that flexibility is key, so this year, you can opt to see all four shows or design your own subscription package of any three performances. However, as a subscriber, you’ll receive more of our exclusive subscriber benefits and the advantage of securing your seats first with limited handling fees.  

Throughout the season, you’ll gain deeper insight into the creative process through free masterclasses, pre-show artist talks, and post-show Q&A sessions.

• Priority seating
• Option to purchase additional single tickets at the discounted subscriber price
