Parsons Dance Brings High-Energy Finale to McCallum Theatre Season
The dance scene in the Coachella Valley is reaching new heights, thanks in part to an exciting season at the McCallum Theatre.
Audiences have already experienced world-renowned companies like MOMIX and BODYTRAFFIC, and now the season builds to a high-energy finale.
PARSONS DANCE takes the stage Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m., bringing its signature blend of athleticism, artistry, and uplifting performance style.
Leading the company is founder and artistic director David Parsons, who was recently honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Palm Desert Choreography Festival. Parsons says audiences can expect an energetic and joyful show, with something for everyone, including a special student performance designed to inspire the next generation of dancers. Tickets are still available, but going fast, at the McCallum Theatre website. Watch this interview with David Parsons with NBC Palm Springs Mary Strong.
