CLEVELAND HEIGHTS , OH – Be present when Inlet Dance Theater and the Mosaic Dance Ensemble share the results of their month-long immersion in contemporary dance.

Bill Wade, recipient of the presidential Coming Up Taller Award for teaching dance to urban youth, has been in residency with his company in the Mosaic Dance Studio at Heights High for a month. This is the second year that the Ohio Arts Council supported this Heights Arts initiative, and one result has been the physical transformation of a classroom into a dance studio complete with mirrors and appropriate flooring. Another result has been Wade teaching a dance class the entire school year, so that dance is now in the curriculum as a physical education elective. But the most important result is the personal transformation of the students through dance.

Come see the students and the professionals share the results in a public performance that will transform you, too.

The Mosaic Dance Ensemble will also perform at Cleveland Public Theater in a special matinee on Saturday, March 24 at 3:00 pm with members of the Inlet Youth Ensemble, the Inlet Trainee Program and students from another residency Inlet conducted this year at Ashtabula Arts Center.

Tickets ($12-$15) available at www.cptonline.org
